031, it's time to raise your salary

The collections of museums are not all sorted and placed in the booth in different categories. Many museums have a large number of collections that have not been sorted, identified, repaired, or even unknown from the origin, which have been piled up in warehouses for many years, and such collections may continue to increase every year.

It will take a long and arduous work process to clean up and repair them all and complete the examination conditions. Some things have only been collected by the museum, and they may never be able to see the light of day.

In fact, the same is true for libraries. Many collections do not provide borrowing and query services to the outside world. The main reason is that they have not been sorted out at all, and even the library managers do not know what kind of books they are. These collections often come from the handover from other departments and social donations.

If you accept books donated by society, it is impossible to put them directly on the bookshelf in a regular library for people to borrow. First, you need to perform version identification to see if it is a legal publication. Then you need to identify their categories, place them in magnetic stripes or chips, write a catalog index, and enter the library rack in a category.

Some book offerings may not be suitable for borrowing and inquiry to the public, but are only suitable for internal information preservation. There are many damaged offerings, and it is also necessary to determine whether they have the possibility of repair and the value of the collection. If so, professionals need to be organized to repair it.

Repair work also requires cost and time. If the offering with collection value cannot be repaired temporarily, it can only be collected internally first, and it may be collected internally forever.

The larger the scale, the more donations the library receives from the society, the heavier the work in this regard. It will be much more troublesome to deal with donated books and deal with books purchased directly from the library.

In the early 1990s, the Jinghu University Library claimed to have 1.6 million books. Now more than 20 years have passed, and only publicly available for borrowing. The number of books that provide catalog indexes has reached nearly five million. It is conceivable how much it has increased. The actual total collection has exceeded six million books.

Therefore, the library's work seems to be idle, but it has always been insufficient to organize the social donated books to provide work and work, and a large number of donated books are still piled up in the warehouse. The lack of people in the library can provide students with the opportunity to work and study. Ding Qi worked in the library when he was in his undergraduate degree.

However, the important organization, identification, repair, preservation and racking work have high professional requirements, which most people cannot do. It is neither oily nor boring, or even unknown, so many people are unwilling to do it.

After Ding Qi came back from Ye Xing, he was thinking about how to get in touch with this kind of offering in the library. He was just a temporary worker, and only formal staff were qualified to get in touch with the rare ancient scrolls in the collection. Unexpectedly, the actual situation was much simpler, so he just took the initiative to tell the director, and the director agreed very happily.

The director is named Zhao Chunling. He is over 60 years old this year. He was a professor in the Foreign Languages ​​Department. He was rehired to the library after retirement and was responsible for guiding the management of foreign information. In the past two years, as the central government's anti-corruption efforts continued to increase, the former library director was also swatted by fly swatters. No one took over the work of the library for the time being. The school leaders asked her to be responsible in general.

Director Zhao immediately said to Ding Qi: "It's great that you are willing to do this job! Today's school promotes the collection of books and books all day long, accepts donations, and has built many new libraries. The library is a face of the university, and it sounds very nice to say it out.

But what about the school? It has become a base for the family members of teachers and workers. A typical Qingshui yamen only has a little bit of oil in the purchase and does not have to wait for people outside to supervise it. There are so many eyes inside. Is a curator not photographed? People who are willing to come here are all seeking a formal job that is free and stress-free. There are fewer and fewer young people with prospects and ideas."

Unexpectedly, one sentence caused so many complaints from Director Zhao. Ding Qi also knew what the so-called "resettlement base for teachers and staff families" meant. Some teachers and staff families have no jobs or are temporarily unemployed, so they can only ask for contacts to the school leaders, and basically can only be arranged to school-affiliated service institutions such as libraries.

Some people just want to find a leisurely and stable job, with the focus on the formal establishment of university faculty and staff, while others, especially young people, just want to make a transition and will change positions when they have a better opportunity.

Ding Qi smiled and reminded: "Director Zhao, I am just a temporary worker."

Director Zhao misunderstood his meaning and said with some regret: "I know your affairs. Don't be discouraged when young people encounter some setbacks. I can't solve the formal establishment for you now, but I can give you a salary increase. In the past, it was 1,500 a month, right? Isn't it enough to live? I'll raise it to 3,000! Although it's not too much, I have such a great authority, and I have to report to the leader for approval any more."

Ding Qi quickly explained: "You misunderstood what I mean. I don't want to pay. I just want to ask, can temporary workers also come into contact with precious offerings for the collection?"

Director Zhao smiled again: "Xiao Ding, do you know why I am happy? Because there is really a shortage of people to do these jobs, it is appropriate to raise your salary. I will not put pressure on you to work progress, and do not stipulate how many pieces you have to organize every month. As long as you are willing to do it seriously.

Temporary worker? It depends on what it means. It’s okay to say that you are an external expert! There are a lot of appraisal and repair work that you must hire experts from outside. With my authority, everyone can only pay 3,000 yuan a month for hard work. Nowadays, those who can really do this kind of work, let alone 3,000 yuan, can’t even hire 3,000 yuan!”

Ding Qi added: "I am not good at restoration."

Director Zhao: "I know you are not a professional repair expert. You only need to be responsible for identification and sorting. You can classify racks into the warehouse and create internal collections of indexes. You need to identify what category it is and whether it has repair value. The warehouse is piled up like mountains, and the speed of sorting is not as fast as new collections."

Ding Qi said again: "I am not a foreign professional, so I applied for a compilation and presentation first, with the focus on rare ancient scrolls donated by the society."

Director Zhao: "This job is the most lacking in people. Foreign information is easy to handle. You can ask students from the foreign language department to help, but it is much more difficult to check foreign language dictionaries and search engines when doing ancient books. There are so many things that need to be sorted out. You can choose the key points based on your interests and expertise, and follow the prescribed procedures.

The school leaders gave the library instructions that they were all reforms and innovations. Almost all of our personnel’s energy and new grants were used to preserve and retrieve information with the latest technological means. This is indeed a good thing, but someone still has to do the basic work..."

The plan was settled so easily, and there was also an unexpected surprise. The salary had doubled. Ding Qi was very grateful to Director Zhao. Director Zhao was not young but was in good spirits. I guess he had been unhappy with many things over the years. He chatted with Ding Qi for more than half an hour and complained.

Ding Qi is like a psychological counselor, and he is indeed a psychological counselor. He chats with her patiently, interjects a few words from time to time, and provides appropriate guidance and guidance. Director Zhao is very happy and finally said, "Xiao Ding, work hard, come to me if you have anything to do!"

Only when you really enter the warehouse will you know how difficult it is to find something. This is not like entering keywords in the computer to get the search results and then taking them off at the corresponding bookshelf, because there is no record at all. When it comes to stealing and donating materials, many modern people may think of hackers, but this kind of thing is not easy to use even the hacker.

If you touch it in and steal something, you have to know what you want to steal and where you put it.

According to the records of the library's donation, Zhang Jinlin donated about 10,000 books that year, and more than 1,000 books were included. These are all approximate numbers, because they have not been cleaned up in detail, and they have only made the simplest classification. There are more than 300 ancient books and ancient scrolls, which are kept in the library's 302 warehouse.

Ding Qi's work started in the 302 warehouse, with a total of nearly 100,000 books collected here, most of which are line-mounted or shaft-mounted scrolls.

In general cleaning work, such as ordinary publications, the version and copyright information must be determined first. Generally speaking, the copyright period of an ordinary work is from the time of the creation and release of the work to fifty years after the author's death. Ding Qi's work basically does not involve this issue, but he should also pay attention to it. Some books from the Republic of China era may have passed away less than fifty years.

For such books, it is of course no problem to make electronic versions and preserve video materials, and provide internal inquiries, but they cannot be published publicly, because the library is not a publishing house, and all it can provide is borrowing and query services. How do people who come to the library know what information they want to borrow or query? This requires a content introduction and index.

Some books have no value in storage, such as the original large number of collections and the quality of storage is very poor. They are considered ancient scrolls, and sometimes there is no need to make electronic video materials. For example, there are many versions of the Analects of Confucius in this warehouse, including those in the Qing Dynasty and those in the Republic of China, most of which are reprinted versions of the Siku Complete Book, and many are complete sets of books but lack book volumes.

These ancient books on line can be saved as versions after cleaning and registering. Some books may be objects themselves, but their contents are everywhere, and most people don’t need to check them here.

Ding Qi wore gloves and masks, and spent almost all his time outside of work on old paper piles. The reason for wearing masks is not only to protect ancient books, but also sometimes the smell is really bad. Some books are already moldy and will break accidentally when opened, with traces of insects and rotten smell. You can't even turn the pages directly with your hands, but use bamboo tweezers to hold them.

This is not because the collection conditions are not good enough. The conditions of the library may have been very simple in the early years, but they have been very particular in recent years. The light source, temperature and humidity here meet the regulations. Some ancient scrolls have been too old and have been stored in poor quality or have been seriously damaged before they are sent.

For such ancient books, reading once is equivalent to destroying them once. No matter how careful you are, the subtle new damage is irreversible. If it has value in preservation, you should record it with modern equipment while sorting it out. For example, making the pages into pictures and materials to save them, this is a very boring and meticulous and patient work.

If it is a precious offering and it is necessary to repair it, it must be specially registered and collected, and the library will arrange the restoration work. It is best not to touch it again before repairing it.

The day after Ding Qi started this work, Ye Xing called and asked him if he had found anything. He was very anxious. Ding Qi said that he was looking for it and had started cleaning up the work, and introduced the rare ancient scrolls donated by Zhang Jinlin.

Ye Xing shouted on the other side of the phone: "There are only more than 300 volumes, and you haven't found them for two days! You can rummage through the cabinet, but you won't be able to get it out after a while?"

Ding Qi explained: "It's not that you take it for granted. Without registration information, I have to organize it one by one. As long as my hands move, I have to sort out the moving ancient books. This is not like picking vegetables in the vegetable market, you can just flip it around. It takes time to sort out every volume!"

Ye Xing said in surprise: "You really have to sort out ancient books? You can't just find things!"

Ding Qi replied solemnly: "I applied to organize rare ancient scrolls in the museum to get the chance to find what you want. I have used the fastest way, first of all, to clean up the rare ancient scrolls donated by Zhang Jinlin, and started cleaning up from ancient books like reading picture albums.

Before I opened it, I didn’t know what it was. After opening it, I had to finish the work. I came to sort out the collection, not to destroy the ancient books! You said the ancient scroll you were looking for was "Fangwai Tu Zhi". I didn’t find any ancient book that reads "Fangwai Tu Zhi" on the outside. You don’t know what that thing looks like, so I can only sort it out in one volume."

He choked Ye Xing out of his words, and Ye Xing had to encourage him, hoping that he would search for it as soon as possible, and then hung up the phone. Ding Qi's attitude was very clear. This was his job and he had to be serious and responsible. He used this job to find Fang Wai Tuzhi, and he had to do his job first.

Under this premise, he had indeed used the fastest way to theoretically find the rare ancient scroll donated by Zhang Jinlin, and started by looking at ancient books that looked like picture albums. He did not find any ancient book with the words Fangwai Pictures and Zhi written on it, so he couldn't start directly. Perhaps the name of the ancient scroll was not called Fangwai Pictures and Zhi.

Ding Qi had another idea. If there were many rare ancient scrolls here that were collected by Chishan Temple at that time, and the abbots of Chishan Temple were indeed keeping that secret, then some clues might be found in other ancient scrolls.

Ding Qi did not bring the camera that Ye Xing gave him into the warehouse, nor did he even bring it back to his apartment, but stayed in the "dormitory" given to him by Boci Medical. He went to the dormitory again and met the "Five Golden Flowers".

Why he did this may be due to the subconscious, and he did not fully trust Ye Xing. Through recent contact, he found that Ye Xing had already planned, played tricks with him and played tricks. Although there was a reason, Ding Qi looked at it from the perspective of a psychologist. A person's behavioral habits reflected his thinking habits. He was a person who liked to engage in conspiracy and calculations, but Ding Qi did not like it.

If you don’t like it, but there are all kinds of people in this world. Sometimes you have to deal with them and know how to accommodate them. Ding Qi and Ye Xing have consistent purposes, so you can cooperate. However, cooperation is cooperation, Ding Qi has his own principles and attitudes. He is a serious person.

Who knows if there is any problem with the camera given by Ye Xing, and whether it will hide the tracking and monitoring device? Ding Qi has been thinking a lot recently and has a bit of imagination.

Ding Qi made a major breakthrough in the first week of taking over the "new job", but he did not discover "Fangwai Picture Records". The results were a bit blushing, and he compiled a sequel of the Spring Palace Pictures. How could this kind of thing be found in this batch of rare ancient scrolls? I don't know if it was from Chishan Temple or Zhang Jinlin's later collection.

The Spring Palace Picture has existed since ancient times, and it was the most popular in the late Ming Dynasty. It has roughly three functions: one is "new marriage teaching", the second is "house interest", and the third is "suppressing houses and warding off evil spirits". Of course, there are also the art ideas and so on. The album that Ding Qi discovered is called "Shirong", and the original author is signed by Mr. Shizhou.

Mr. Shizhou was Qiu Ying, a master of painting in the Ming Dynasty. He was known as Shen Zhou, Zheng Ming and Tang Yin. He was also the most famous master of painting in the Spring Palace. Of course, what Ding Qi discovered was not the original painting, but the engraved version from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, but it was also quite precious. It is even more rare that this album is preserved quite well, and the charm of the original painting can still be seen from the engraved version.

It is worthy of being a masterpiece, with superb skills, delicate and meticulous characters, and all the characters are exquisite and elegant, and their spirits are flying. The history of the sequel "Ten Rong" written by Qiu Ying has long been lost, and now the Qing Dynasty printed version has been rediscovered, which is a major achievement. This discovery quickly alarmed the leaders of the museum, school leaders, chemical and material departments, and has also become a hot news.

There is no news about Ding Qi's name. The report only says that the staff of Jinghu University Library were sorting out rare ancient books donated by the society and found a Qing Dynasty printed version of the "Ten Rong" written by Qiu Ying, a great painter of the Ming Dynasty.

The discovery of this set of erotic pictures is regarded as a major achievement and has caused major responses in various fields such as chemistry, objects and artistic creation. The publicity is a bit difficult to say, but universities are academic, so they can naturally raise this matter to the level they should have. The discovery has important value for studying the life style, chemistry ideas, and artistic development in the Ming Dynasty.

Director Zhao specially called Ding Qi over again and said earnestly: "If you work in college, if you want to go, the most important thing is to produce results, and the greater the impact of the results, the better. Everyone thinks that it is difficult to produce results in library work, but no one expected that during my presidency, you actually made the greatest impact in these years!

Unfortunately, I have retired and have been rehired. I have no future or ideas for further development. If I change to a young curator, it may be his qualifications and capital. I am optimistic about you, and it is true that gold will shine everywhere! Our library has been commended, and I can't be sorry for you, because the credit is actually yours.
Chapter completed!
