I learned about what librarians earn,some of the areas they specialize in,how they get paid,and how much they get paid. I also learned that the general population doesn't show much of an interest in librarians and what they do.
Charlene's Sixth Observation On March 29,2010,from 11:05 to 11:37,Icconducted my sixth observation of the Shepard Broad Law Library on the second floor. Isat at a table near the shelves that hold the Florida Journal of the Senate,Florida Jurisprudence,Laws of Florida,Florida Supplement,West's Florida Digest,Florida supreme Court Reports,Florida Reports,Florida Statutes Annotated,Southern Reporter,and Florida Cases(So.2d.).There is also a large volume of Black's Law Dictionary on a stand on top of the shelves.
There are students working at other tables nearby.Two are working on laptop computers, one is just writing notes.There is a copy room nearby.You can use the stairs or the elevator nearby,to go to the first or third floors.
There are restroom and a waterfountain around the corner. There are cubicles along the wall,situated back-to-back. There are more tables in the back of the room, as well as in the middle of the room between stacks of books. There are more cubicles in the back of the room. All the tables and cubicles are equipped with electrical outletw, for students to plug their laptops into.
The librarian's offices are in the center section of the room along the side walls.The Reference desk is across from the Circulation desk. There are two computers on the Reference desk for students to use. There is also a computer nearby, for the purpose of Shepardizing the law. There's a printer nearby.
Charlene's Seventh Observation On April 8,2010, from 3:00-3:20 p.m., I conducted my seventh observation on the first floor of the Nova Law Library.
Across from the stairs,there's an office for International,online,and Graduate Programs. Near the stairs and the office, are chairs to sit in with a table between them, holding a little plant in a plastic container. On the wall, next to one chair is a fire extinguisher and a picture on the wall of two men. one of them is reading the newspaper and the other is talking;on the floor are playing cards.Across from the chair I was sitting in, there was another similar group of chairs and tables with the same picture on the wall.There's a table across from the office, with a computer and a stand with brocures and scrap paper to write on. Just beside the desk is a copying room. I came down in the elevator, which is located next to the copying room.
They have moving stacks,just like the ones at the Alvin Sherman Library. In the back of the room, the stacks are moved by turning a wheel that is situated on the end of the stacks.
There is a framed photo of the U.S. Supreme Court on one wall, with portraits of previous Justices situated around it.
In the back,there is a microform room, more tables and chairs to work at, the restrooms and waterfountain. There were two students working at different tables in the back. It was very quiet today.
