1/20-17 Information Specialist

Today was a fairly short day in the media center.  I had to spend 1/2 of the day preparing for upcoming gifted testing.  However, afterwards I was able to spend enough time in the media center to learn a few things.  I learned how to access MARCC and add new books to the schools online catalog.  Some of the steps include seeing if the material has already been entered by another school.  If so, you can just add new copy.  If not, you have to use the ISBN to add the title into the system.

Today I dove right into it.  I was able to complete all of the following during my hours in the media specialist:  Weeding, help host AR celebration, organize materials, and check in/out material.

I assisted the media specialist with weeding during a course that I had last semester. However, at the time we just went through the motions for the sake of the assignment. This time, I was showed how to actually access Destiny and delete the book from the system.

My favorite part of the day was working at the circulation desk. It was really easy learning how to check books in/out.

These are the notes that I took while I was learning how to catalogue books.  I'll be keeping these for future reference.
