On September 1, 1978, Yanyuan Garden, which had been dormant for a summer vacation, became lively again. Today was the first day of school for the 1978 undergraduate students of Yantai University. It was also the first day that Lin Chaoyang became the librarian of Yantn University.
Before the start of school, he and Tao Yushu spent four days completing the household registration and work procedures.
Early that morning, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu had breakfast and went out.
Lin Chaoyang went to work in the library, while Tao Yushu went to Yancheng Normal University to attend school.
According to the classification of later generations, Yanjing University is located outside the Fourth Northwest Ring Road of Yanjing, while Yanjing Normal University is closer to the city and within the Third Northwest Ring Road. The two are about six kilometers apart. It is too far to go there on foot, and it is too long to take a bus.
It was inconvenient, so Tao Yushu went there by bicycle.
She owns a Phoenix brand 26 bicycle. Tao's father paid half of the money for the bicycle. Her younger sister, Tao Yumo, is very envious of this bicycle.
The sun is rising early in the morning, and there is still a thin mist filling the Yanda campus. This campus, composed of the "nine gardens" of the former Qing Dynasty, is swaying with vitality in the summer morning.
Tao Yushu was going to Yan Normal University and took Lin Chaoyang along the way. He got off at Wusi Road between the Literature and History Building and the Library.
Looking up to the west, you can see the magnificent new Yanda Library.
The Yenching University Library first began as the Beijing University Hall Library built in 1902. By 1912, the library was renamed the Yenching University Library. It has a history of more than 70 years.
The new library that Lin Chaoyang saw was just completed in 1975. It is located in the center of Yanda, with a construction area of ​​24,813 square meters. If viewed from above, the library appears in the shape of a big "out".
It is the library with the largest building area and the best building conditions in China. It is also the only large-scale teaching building built by Yanda in the 1970s.
It was just early six o'clock in the morning, and there was already a long queue at the main entrance of the library.
Lin Chaoyang walked through the south door and entered the door briskly. The black floor tiles were solemn and majestic. The first thing he saw was a hollow extending upward to the roof. The top was composed of a steel dome and tempered glass. In the early morning, the light came from
With the light from the dome, the interior of the museum suddenly became bright, and Mr. Yan called it the Sunshine Hall.
Going further north, you will find the front desk of the closed-shelf borrowing desk of Yanda Library, where Lin Chaoyang will work in the future.
"Teacher Hu, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
Lin Chaoyang had a bright smile on his face and said hello to the middle-aged woman who was cleaning the table.
"Xiao Lin is here! It's not late, I came early." Hu Wenqiong said kindly.
Yesterday, Lin Chaoyang completed the work procedures and was arranged by deputy director Guo Songnian to the closed-shelf borrowing desk.
The so-called closed frame is naturally relative to the open frame.
People in later generations have become accustomed to freely browsing and selecting books in bookstores and libraries. However, at this time, domestic bookstores and libraries adopted a closed-shelf approach.
When buying books in a bookstore, readers have to stand outside the cabinet and report the title of the book to the salesperson; when borrowing books from the library, they must first find the request card for the book they want to borrow, give it to the librarian to register, and then pick up the book. Lin Chaoyang at Yanda Library
This is what the museum is responsible for.
The first, second and sixth floors of the new Yanda Library are used to store closed-shelf books. The closed-shelf borrowing office on the first floor is responsible for registering, borrowing and collecting books. There are two librarians every day.
Stay here permanently.
In addition, there are three administrators at the closed-shelf library desk, stationed on the first, second, and sixth floors respectively, who are responsible for picking up and submitting books according to the call cards sent to them.
The positions in the library and front desk rotate once a week. This week, Hu Wenqiong and Lin Chaoyang are in charge.
Picking up books and filing them in the library is not only a physical job, but also requires a thorough knowledge of the library's inventory.
Lin Chaoyang had just come to the library and was unable to do this kind of work. He could only work at the front desk and be led by other administrators. Therefore, Hu Wenqiong and other old librarians could be considered Lin Chaoyang's masters.
"I see students are already queuing up at the door!" Lin Chaoyang said with a hint of surprise in his tone.
He also liked to go to the library when he was in college before time travel, but the conditions of the university library at that time were much better than now, with air conditioning, wifi, coffee...
The man who was cleaning up after himself looked like a bitch, with a glass of Americano on the table and holding Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence" or Dazai Osamu's "The Unworthy of the World" in his hand. You could smell his scent from two miles away.
Literary taste.
Pictures flashed through Lin Chaoyang's mind, and it suddenly felt so long ago, as if it happened in a previous life. Then he smiled broadly, wasn't it a previous life?
"It's only the first day of school!" Hu Wenqiong said, whether it was a sigh or a complaint.
Then she smiled at Lin Chaoyang and said, "You will get used to it in the future."
Lin Chaoyang nodded.
The library opened at half past six. Using the time before opening, Hu Wenqiong gave Lin Chaoyang some simple business guidance.
They are at the front desk of the library, and their most common job every day is to accept the call cards from students, register them, and then send the call cards to the administrator of the library upstairs. They find the books and then send them down, and the front desk hands them to the students.
them.
As far as the work at the front desk is concerned, it is not complicated or cumbersome. This is because the library took into account Lin Chaoyang's lack of work experience and limited educational level.
As soon as six-thirty arrived, the library opened its doors, and the students who were queuing outside the door rushed in like a tide, so crowded that the door frame shook.
Curator Xie Daoyuan, who was standing inside the gate and watching the students entering the library, looked distressed and muttered: "Be gentle, be careful!"
The library is open, and a busy day is about to begin.
Within ten minutes, Lin Chaoyang started his work. A tall and thin young man put eight library cards and four library cards on the table.
Oh~
The young man is not only quick with his hands and feet, but also has a good eye. If you want to borrow a book these days, in addition to knowing the title of the book, the most important thing is to find the call card.
There are vertical cabinets standing on the wall of the corridor in the Yanda Library. Each cabinet is divided into several small cabinets, with labels classified by subject, content, and language. At first glance, they look like medicine cabinets in a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.
Inside the cabinet are cards with book information, which are so-called book request cards, which are equivalent to ID cards for each book.
There are hundreds of small cabinets there. If you enter the library for the first time, you will be confused just by looking at the labels on them.
But the young man in front of me was able to find all the book cards in ten minutes, and he seemed to be helping his brothers in the dormitory bring books.
Four blue plastic-covered library cards were placed on the table. Lin Chaoyang registered them one by one according to Hu Wenqiong's instructions, and then registered the book information.
It took three or four minutes to register the eight books, and he returned the library card to the young man.
"Thank you teacher!"
The young man not only has good eyes, quick hands and feet, but also has such a sweet mouth. He is indeed a top student at Yanda.
It only took a few minutes for Lin Chaoyang to fall in love with this job. The emotional value of Yan Dajiaozi is really high.
"The character Xiaolin is well written!"
After all, it was his first practical operation. Hu Wenqiong specially took Lin Chaoyang's registration results to see if there were any errors or omissions, and praised him.
"I haven't practiced the word "goubala", so I just wrote it blindly." Lin Chaoyang said modestly with a smile.
"It's not like you haven't practiced your handwriting."
Lin Chaoyang did practice calligraphy, and he was still the evil Pang Zhonghua, but that was all before time travel. Now that he is a farmer's boy with only a junior high school education, he still has to keep a low profile.
While we were talking, another student came to borrow books with a library card.
This time it was Lin Chaoyang who registered, while Hu Wenqiong took the call card he had just received to the elevator behind the front desk and sent the call card upstairs through the elevator.
The morning passed quickly, and when it was almost noon, Lin Chaoyang stretched out, and Hu Wenqiong said: "Chaoyang, you go to the big dining room to eat first, and I will come over later."
Chapter completed!
