Labeling AV materials, reshelving HS non-fiction, new library computers, SnapGrades, and more!
It was time again to fill our patrons in on the latest and greatest of innovations in our library during the past month since our last post. The post title will clue you all in on the various newsy items I will discuss here. Early in April, I set about the task of reorganizing our High School non-fiction. We were short on space, and books were starting to get piled up horizontally on top of the shelved books in that area, so drastic measures were in order. One Friday, during a day of teacher in-service activities, I started moving things. If you have seen the video of Mrs. Nunez reorganizing the fiction shelves, you should have a good picture of what I was doing. It was time to make use of the very top shelves on the non-fiction side of the room so as to allow for space on each shelf. After a few days, we had our non-fiction books going right up to the ceiling, making for a bit of a collegiate-feel, and freeing things up so that there would be room on each shelf to shelve and add new books.
Our 3rd - 6th grade helpers along with Mrs. Nunez, have been up to the task of relabeling the AV materials. The row of educational videos are all exclusively spine labeled with their DDC numbers, and any other spine labels have been removed or covered to avoid confusion while searching. The other dvds and videos -- have been labeled alpabetically by title, old labels covered, and an additional letter label placed at the top for easy alphabetizing, reshelving, and searching.
They have also been doing computer checking with our OPAC against the more than a dozen shelves of books still to be previewed for consideration of being added to the library collection to see if there are any duplications.
9th grader, Noelle, has been busy reworking the biography section to alphabetize all biographies, Christian and non-Christian, so that anyone looking for a biography will see all their options. Christian bios are still clearly marked with a sticker on the spine.
Mrs. Nunez is working feverishly to process, process, process! We have hundreds of new and gently used books, videos and DVDs to add to the collection, and she works hard to keep getting the new things ready to go on the shelves quickly as more materials come in.
With the start of the third marking period, the SCS Library began using on-line gradebook SnapGrades for the elementary classes. Several of the secondary teachers have been piloting a test of the program, with good success, and SCS is moving toward implementing next year. Elementary parents and students now can log in to the SnapGrades website, and check on their library grades, and book checkout status. Specific information on logging in will be mailed home shortly. Secondary students and parents will be able to use the site to look up current information on book due dates, overdue books, and fines. Log in info has already been e-mailed to those currently utilizing SnapGrades, and a regular mailing with log-in info will be going out on Monday for all secondary students with books currently checked out.
Just today, our IT manager, Mr. Zuber was in to begin set up of the new library computers. The new machines are here, with 19 inch flat screen monitors, and some of the hardware is now in place, and loading of software applications will be taking place shortly. We are looking forward to having four new computers available for student use, and to upgrading the library staff computers for more efficient service to our school community.
Finally, we were recently awarded a grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The images of famous art work depicting our national heritage are currently on exhibit in the High School Room. This particular news item definitely warrants more blog coverage, and so more will be said about it at a later date.
