Thursday, April 28, 2011----- LIS 489

Time: 8:00 am -11:35 am
12:55 pm - 3:30 pm

Worked as a proctor in the morning and then went to the library for the afternoon. Things I did for the rest of the day were put books on shelves, helped students get the materials they needed, and helped check in and out materials or equipment to the patron. So, next Tuesday, I will be proctoring for the State Test.

12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Was a busy day with in the library. A lot of the students were needing items like pencils, pens, binders, folders, and many other things. The students were also trying to complete projects that their teachers had assigned. The books that I had processed and were ready to be put on the shelves, were put on the shelves. As soon as the books were on the shelves, more came to be put on the shelves. So, I put the couple of books away.

I heard that the school needed some proctors for the State testing for the different days from Ms. Sorensen. So, I went to the guidance counselor and signed up for Thursday and Tuesday. I had hope that this experience will be a good experience.

I learned that putting books on shelves is fun.

Tuesday was a fairly busy day. The books on the checked in shelf were put away. Classes came into the library to use the laptops and write papers. Photocopies were made for students and printers were found for printing. Items were sold like notebooks, mechanical pencils, home made clear folders were made to be sold, and construction paper. Helped students find books on different topics. Books were entered into the system and lables for the spine and bar code labels were printed for the books to be fully processed. Started the process of putting labels on the materials.

Lesson was that keeping busy lets time fly much faster.

Thursday was slow as well. The library was closed due Ms. Sorensen going to the Children's Fair on USM campus. During the times that I was there, I worked on school materials and helped who ever needed help. I did help judges in finding student project boards and helped teachers with minor things like find printers. Students did come in and out of the library to look at the boards with the permission of their teachers.

Tuesday was a slow day for the library due to the project boards that were on display and not al ot of students were coming into the library. The seniors at Petal High School have to do projects for the community, arts and crafts, bring awareness, and many other topics. of their choose. The students draft their projects in their junior year. So, they can have their projects approved before they can go ahead with their projects in the summer or during their senior year. The ones that I viewed were rather interesting and the projects were the arts projects and technology projects. An example is the project of building a CPU that can withstand water. I found that interesting, because I have never thought of using water as a way to cool the CPU.

Other than looking at the project boards, the books were put away and I helped the judges of the project boards find their student that they were to judge.

Thursday was a busy day, also. Books that had been returned were placed on shelves and during the placement. I found books that were out of place and I placed them back. After placing the books and cleaning up, I helped the teacher's aids check in and out laptops, computers, renew books, and locate computers. On this day, Ms. Sorensen needed help pulling up schedules for students to tell them of their overdue books with the program called SAM. After all the students schedules were printed. We cut up the overdue spreadsheet into sections under students names and stapled them to the proper schedules that were printed out. When most of them were done, two of the teacher's aids helped sort them into teachers or rooms, and then the papers were placed into boxes by the halls that the room numbers were on.


I learned that sometimes a librarian has to do the unpleasant things to be able to keep things in order and his/her inventory kept.

Tuesday was a very busy day. First, the books were put on the 'return to shelves' were put away. Through the day, the 'teacher's aids' and I check out materials/equipment and check in materials/equipment and I helped when needed. Also, some new books were put into the system and printers were found for printing for students plus teachers. I cleaned up the shelves that looked overly messy and placed books back to their proper place.

I learned that many days can repeat themselves and they are not all bad.
