I've mentioned before about our project to convert many of our cassettes in the IRC into compact disc format. We are only able to convert those cassettes that were recorded on campus, that were given to us by the National Council of Churches or for which we have been able to secure permission for a format change. This is going to leave us with a large number of cassettes that cannot be reformatted, but we're hoping this project will enable our patrons to have audio material in a more usable format now that cassette players are getting harder to find!
We have a student worker this summer who has worked with us for nearly three years on this project and is making remarkable progress. He's started on the cassettes whose call number begin with K and we're hoping to make it into the M's before he leaves for college in the fall. We're delighted with the progress he's making, but want to remind you that in addition to the conversion itself, it means we are constantly rearranging the drawers that hold cassettes and CDs. If you can't find a cassette or a compact disc where you think it should be, please let us know!
