Marcus Huhe isn’t actually new to the library, he has been working in the library’s interlibrary loan office for over three years, but he is our new spring intern.
Marcus will be spending time in all of the departments learning the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes: just how do those books get on the shelf, who really orders all those great movies, and how the heck do I find information for my research paper. To learn the answers to all these questions and more, Marcus will work in each department spending a total of 130 working hours in the library.
Marcus’s first few weeks were spent in Technical Services with Hongbo & Jeff, where he was given a brief overview of what happens on the library servers (that’s what makes our catalogs and databases run). He was also given a couple of projects to give him hands on experience using the worldwide database OCLC as well as the library local operating system Horizon. Next on the agenda for Marcus is the magic and mysteries behind the scenes in the Audio-Visual department. Thanks for all your work in tech services, keep up the good work!
