Cataloging

Wednesday
I cataloged books today...straight from the box almost to the shelf! Once I got the steps down, it was easy as pie!
Here are the steps we use at Kennedy:
 *Bar Code on
 *Look up call numbers on Follett
 *Double check AR test is on order
 *Use OPAC to copy catalog
      check ISBN number- add copy
      call number
      category code
      add copy
      save
  * put in Media Clerk's stack where she will:
       add shelf marker
       cover bar code, call number, and AR sticker
       stamp Kennedy Elementary in two places
Mr. Frame explained how much easier the entire process is when the order is placed through Follett because everything is just one click away! The day I worked at Winder Barrow High School the MS was working with VCR tapes that had to be looked up in SEARS...what a pain! Anyway, the process was painless at Kennedy and one I look forward to doing in my own center!
