I made more new records today than any day so far! On the one hand, I'm proud of myself, but on the other hand it's not like I have anything to do with the content of the files that come out of those archival boxes. Some files are just easier than others: they are labeled correctly, the items are in English, the names have authorized headings in the LC. Other files are a nightmare from start to finish, even when they only contain a single postcard or museum brochure. But today's boxes (I'm in the "T" section now) were pretty straightforward. I have also gotten faster at the routine of record-making, the keystroke shortcuts, the automatic placement of my stack of files to the right of my keyboard...
UPDATE: I got an email from Beth approving of all the non-LC records I cataloged on my own. She said I made "good decisions." Success!
Hours worked: 9-5pm.
Records created: 49. 49!!!
