Diary of a Library of Congress Intern

Ten weeks as a Library of Congress intern...

Name:
Location: Washington, DC, United States

Wednesday

June 29

I feel like I have absolutely nothing new to report today... except that I was fairly certain that it was Thursday for most of the day when, no, it's only Wednesday. Perhaps I'm too anxious for the weekend to come because 1.) it's a long, holiday weekend and 2.) my friend Marci is coming to visit. Yay!!

This morning, more brief record-making. I decided to listen to some of the CDs I was processing, whether they sounded interesting or whether I had heard of them or not. As a result, I heard such musicians as Al Wells, Fastbacks, and Lara Michell. Who, you ask? Exactly.

At lunchtime, I decided to sit outside and read. I had a nice cozy spot between the Madison building (where I work) and the Cannon building (one of the House buildings). I also got to watch all the people in suits walk by!

In the afternoon, I continued inputting my record label data into MS Access. I've been working on Dionysus Records and its related labels all this week basically. They have a big catalog. But, I should finish it tomorrow and then it'll be time to find a new non-complying label, I suppose. I've cross-checked and inputted data for all 8 non-complying labels that I've found so far and it doesn't seem like we are getting a new reference project any time soon unfortunately. I won't lie - this project is boring the life out of me and I find it particularly hard to concentrate during the afternoons. Luckily for me, the "Internet searching" that is required for that project is something I've expanded to non-record label information.
