    The document provides information for a volunteer opportunity to help prepare the Henry Watson Music Library for its return to the Central Library. Volunteers would be assisting with tasks like disposing of discarded materials, rationalizing and repackaging music sets, and using databases to update catalog information. The commitment would be for one day per week from November through the end of the academic year. Most of the work would take place at the Universal Square warehouse, but some database tasks could occur at the City Library or Universal Square office. Volunteers would receive training and supervision from library staff during the project.

    Music Project Volunteers

    Main purpose To help with the special project of preparing the


    Henry Watson Music Library for its return to Central Library which
    will include rationalising, cataloguing and making the stock shelf
    ready

    What would I be
    doing?

    Supporting the service by helping with the following special project


    tasks :

    Disposing of discarded sets and other music stock


    Rationalising and repackaging sets
    Using the online computer catalogue and other prescribed
    databases in conjunction with the above tasks by deleting
    or changing information

    When can I do my
    volunteering?

    We would like you to commit to volunteering for a period from


    November to the end of the Academic year. We can discuss your
    availability but would like you to commit to at least one day a
    week (Mon Fri).

    Where will I be
    volunteering?

    The majority of the volunteering will take place at Universal


    Square (Ardwick) in the warehouse facility, which is just outside of
    the city centre. There may also be some database work to be
    carried out at City Library on Deansgate and in the office at
    Universal Square

    Who will be there


    with me?

    A member of staff will be with you on site at all times. This will be
    either the Service Development Officer (Music) or a named
    Neighbourhood Delivery Officer (NDO) who will be supervising.
    You may not be the only volunteer and there may be agency staff
    so you are unlikely to be working on your own

    Support and
    review

    Regular support and guidance will be given by a named library


    contact.

    Training, resources A full induction will be given, and further training offered where
    and information
    appropriate.

    Am I right for this


    role?

    This role would suit someone who:

    Is music literate
    Is computer literate
