Kelly Thompson, a copy cataloger and receiving clerk, is importing the data of the new books to the library system. Most of the new books are purchased by OU and this summer, there were 30 donated books, said Kelly Thompson.


New Books at Bizzell Memorial Library

Bizzell Memorial Library plans to get more books during the summer compared to fall and spring that will be provided to current and future OU students.

In May, the library has received 3655 books and usually the number of incoming books record high in June than gradually drop off from July, said Kelly Thompson, the copy cataloger and receiving clerk, working at the Cataloging Department of Bizzell Memorial Library.

“There is more work for me because we get more books in June, but it will be helpful to the students who need these books,” said Justin Asberry, a student worker at the Cataloging Department of Bizzell Memorial Library who has worked for 2 years.

During Fall 2009, the library expects to receive approximately 3000 books monthly, said Thompson.
