Library Work, 2/7-2/11

Many of the teachers in our school have received new equipment, computers to be exact. This brief week of school (due to inclement weather) my time in the library was limited but busy. Due to the influx of electronics there was much work to be done to make sure every item was accounted for and documented. Reading serial numbers, bar codes and school district numbers filled my time in the library and throughout the school, traveling to various classrooms and offices to locate and label equipment appropriately. I also had the opportunity to get acquainted with the new electronic scanner system that is strictly used for electronics and technological materials. By the end of the week I surveyed the reference section of the library and found it to be plentiful but outdated. The LIS explained that most online resources are used for reference materials and research currently because it is so accessible and current.
