LIBRARY/LIBRARY COMPUTER LAB BUSINESS LAB


 * //Procedures ("job manual" type description)://**
 * //**scheduling -**// Most teachers email either the teacher librarian or me about scheduling the labs or library. Although we prefer they touch base with both of us just in case one of us isn't here or isn't available to answer them. They can also come into the library and visually see what's been scheduled. We are on a block schedule and we divide the blocks in half so that other classes may have the opportunity to use the labs. The business lab is not available one block per day due to a class being taught in there.
 * //**organization -**// We use a signup book for both library lab and business lab. The business lab is color-coded so that we can easily tell them apart. For library usage we have a dry erase calendar that has two months on it. Teachers can sign up for the library to use books or computers.
 * **//facilities planning -//** Again the same for this as up above.
 * **//recordkeeping -//** Using the signup books for the labs allows us to have a paper trail. At the end of the year we can total up how many classes have used each lab.
 * **//notifications -//** This is done via email first thing every morning touching base with the teachers that have signed up to use either the labs or library. By doing an "ALL" email at our school allows other teachers to see what times the labs/library are available if they need to use them.
 * **//meetings -//** Most meetings held in the library are also scheduled on the dry erase calendar that teachers have access to.
 * cleaning of shelving, etc. - These duties are often done by our Media Techs along with other jobs such as distribution of newspapers (NIE), checking books in/out and some shelving.
