6th Grade Orientation:
Today was the first day for 6th grade media center orientation. The media specialist provided an overview, using the overhead projection system, of library services and instructed students on how to log onto the media center computers. New to this school year is a district wide policy that each student must use a unique log-in ID and password in order to access the network and computer programs. This was implemented as a security detail in order to better monitor student's computer use. I spent much of the day assisting students on how to log on to the computers as well as working at the circulation desk checking out books. I assisted the media paraprofessional with the bar-coding of rebounded books which were then placed back into circulation. Other duties included continuation of shelving new books, researching lexile levels to be added to book spine labels, and identifying books in series to add to the current series binder that is kept at the circulation desk for student reference.
