Helping a school library automate
by Kate Van Auken 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Greetings all! I received a phone call from a teacher at Highland Pines School in Caro in regards to automating their school library. Highland Pines provides programs for the early childhood special education, moderately cognitive impaired, severely cognitive impaired and severely multiple impaired students. One of the main goals of the school is to teach life and job skills enabling students to work in the kitchen, day care, and library for example. Currently, when a student wants to check out a book from the school library, another student library clerk checks the item out by writing down the student's name, school id#, and title. The teacher mentioned that depending upon the library clerks ability, things may not always be accurate or very legible. This teacher is in search of a circulation software package that would be easy enough and pretty basic for the student clerks to use and for the school to implement. She didn't mention cost. Does anyone have suggestions? Perhaps a open source software? She realizes they will have to barcode their collection, but they are hoping not only to digitize the collection, but provide more of a technology skill set for their students. If anyone has suggestions or ideas or know of other schools that use a specific system, please feel free to email me off list. As always, thank you for your input! Kate Van Auken, Director 6495 Pine Street Cass City, MI 48726 989-872-2856 989-872-4073 fax

label printing
by Frankenmuth Wickson District Library 02 Jun '17

02 Jun '17

Lise - beware the dymo printer! The one we had used thermal labels which fade in fluorescent light. After a couple of years many of the labels are completely unreadable. The ability to print one label at a time was great, but we are relabeling a couple of years' worth of books. -- Mary Chasseur, Library Director Frankenmuth Wickson District Library 359 S. Franklin St. Frankenmuth, MI 48734 989-652-8323

New Book Labels
by Carolyn Levardsen 02 Jun '17

02 Jun '17

Hi everyone, we're looking for some ideas on how to categorize new books with labels or stickers. My director asked me to send out an email to see how other libraries handle new books. Currently we use Demco "new" stickers plus removable tape, but we have issues with the stickers and tape coming off. How do you identify new books through labeling? Please message me off list with any ideas or suggestions! Thanks in advance! Carolyn Levardsen *Brandon Township Public Library* clevardsen(a)brandonlibrary.org
