Diary of a Library of Congress Intern

Ten weeks as a Library of Congress intern...

Name:
Location: Washington, DC, United States

Monday

June 27

Back to work. Our "brief record" template was finally triggered to work today so potentially we could have started to work on those, after two days of work backing up. However, I kind of avoided learning how to do it, as I'm not looking forward to interaction with my non-English-speaking trainer. I get so frustrated learning things from her that I prefer to put it off... She suggested we wait until after lunch so I was happy to oblige, considering that I go to the reference department after lunch!

The other funny thing is that one of the record labels I've been researching for copyright compliance is this label called Secretly Canadian. I just liked the name. Well, one of the CDs from that label was in my pile to process today. Kind of ironic.

Lastly, after a small scare that we might not be getting paid at all because we weren't properly filing our "T&A" paperwork (Yes, an unfortunate abbreviation for something the Library refers to as Time & Attendance), I found out my first paycheck was direct deposited after all. Yay! It's good to know I'm not doing this all for free!
