We welcome Mary Harty as our Circulation Assistant. Mary worked for us this summer on our inventory project and did such a good job we hired her! She has been handling course reserves, inter-library loans, clean-up processing from the summer project, and general circulation duties. She is part-time, four mornings a week.
Today commemorates the death (or birth into eternal life, if you prefer) of St. Jerome, Biblical scholar and Doctor of the Church. Best know for his translation of the entire Bible into the common language of Latin (a.k.a. the Vulgate) from the Hebrew and Greek, he is also known for his Scripture commentaries and his feisty temper. He is the patron saint of archaeologists, librarians, Biblical scholars, translators, and students.
As you enjoy the new arrangements in the stacks, you’ll notice that some books have slips in them. We have a number of books that need repair, whose call numbers are incorrect, or with the same call number as other books in that subject area. Books with slips indicate that there is a problem to be resolved. You are welcome to check out these books and we ask that you leave the slips in them. Use it as a bookmark! We hope to complete the project by early October. Update
Sacred Heart is in Phase IV of our COVID response. The building is closed to the public at this time. All patrons are still able to request and return items; please use the ‘curbside’ pickup location (the mailbox outside the library doors). If you have any questions or would like assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us (414-858-4995 or library@shsst).
The inventory is complete and we have moved our collection. All non-current journals are on Level 2. We brought over 13,000+ books from Level 2 down to the main floor. Some of our books have corrections that need to be made. For example, the title may not match the catalog record, the call number may be incorrect, the book might not be in the catalog. If a correction needs to be made you will see a slip in the book. You are welcome to check out anything. We ask that you leave the slip in the book until we can make the necessary changes.
