Second Quarter Goals. (Anne Shore SLA)

Hello people of the outer world. I would like to share with you my goals, for this quarter.

Behavior: I would like to try and have a better attitude going into fifth period. But also be a little bit more engaging with the patrons. I mean I should be very nice. After all they have to sit and wait for me to scan, stamp, and say when it needs to be returned, so in that one minute I should be a wee bit more engaged in conversation, you know?

Participation: I think I participate well. But sometimes I think I should help Miss. Trumm more with repairing books, and putting the plastic sticky stuff on the books. I would actually really like to put the sticky stuff on them. It looks like fun. I do love me some tape, so I think I would be really good at it.

Performance: I know I only need two, but I wanted to talk about this. I think sometimes my performance isn't top notch...only because after I eat, or have lunch, I am all tired. Haha. Not an excuse, just I might be a little slow.

Rosie's goals for the Quarter :)

One thing i really need to work on is placing holds. I have never done this but would like to learn. Using the OPAC to locate resources, i did it once and was pretty good at it but practice never hurts. Also shelving.

Claire's goals for this week(:

I would like to work on talking/ communicating with patrons because I'm not very good at that when checking out. I would also like to improve on placing and processing holds as easily as possible. And of course, shelving too.

Quarter 2 goals

Welcome to a new quarter.  This quarter I would like you to focus on two of the SLA standards that I introduced to you last quarter, as well as one additional personal goal.  Please choose one goal from two of the three areas (behavior, participation, performance).  Please also choose one more goal for something you are interested in.

New Goals For The Quarter.

My goals for this quarter are for me to learn how to put the plastic covery things on books. I want to set aside a day for that. That is my one very important goal. One other i guess you could say goal is to rewind a tape.

New Goals For The Quarter.

Claire's goals for this week(:

This week I have gotten to work on the shelving part because I can always improve on that, I also get to work on taking down the displays and getting fast at that. Late last week, I found out how to fix a book with this weird green tape that only sticks when its wet. Hopefully, I can repair a book this week because I want to repair one at least once a week.

Taylor's goal's!

This week i made a window display about turning in your bookmarks! (: It's under the Peru, Kenya, and El Salvador flags. I think i could have made it a little better by improving my skill on how to write backwards and also maybe planing it out before hand so it wont take as long. I like how i spaced tried to space everything out though.

Next week I'm thinking about making a lot of copies of the bookmarks so that we can hand them out to people who want them!

Claire's Weekly goals(:

I have gotten to shelve more this week and have not yet gotten to repair this week, I did last week and feel I did fairly well for how badly the book was falling apart. I think I need to take more time shelving because I haven't been getting 100% lately..

Rosie's Weekly goals

My weekly goals are going great! I can check out books to the students, have been improving my shelving but need some more practice in the Non-fiction section. I have learned how to shelve audio-books. I would like to learn how to check them out in the near future.

Week of 10/31-11/4

Please revisit last week's assignment and the "What's Wrong with This?" post.  Several of you have not commented.  Continue to add separate postings (not comments) about your goals and weekly progress.  You can log in by clicking on the little blogger icon in the upper right.  You must use your students.osd.wednet.edu login, as that is the only one invited to participate.  DO NOT USE YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL.

You may also comment on the postings of your fellow SLA's.  Make it a practice to see what they are working on and give your appropriate feedback.

REGARDING DESTINY QUEST/MYQUEST:  If the book you are reading is not in our library catalog, you will not be able to add it to your shelves or review it.  Add a friend by typing in the person's name.  Please let me know if a MMS student doesn't appear.  The other person will have to accept your request.  Be sure that you accept requests from all SLA's and me. 

My new goals for next week.

When I walk into the library at the start of 5th period, I want to shelve all of the books on the return cart before the end of the period. Also check out at least 4 books total. Those are my goals. I had a great week! Lots of people to check out and lots of books to check in. People needing help. Finding books. Dusting. Other things I had a great time.

Taylor's goals!

Hey! So I've been thinking and I think I'm to change my goal. My new goal is to help spice up the library, like making window displays or make new events. Just make the library a more funner place, not that is isn't already, but I have some idea's that might make it a happier place! :)

What is wrong with this picture?

Watch this video.  Please add a comment below:
1.  Why is it important that the books in a library are organized?
2.  What are three rules or steps that you use to shelve books in our library?

Week of 10/24-10/28

This week, continue to work on your goals and make a post telling me how you have been doing.

Also, go to the library homepage and log in with your usual username and password.  In the catalog section, choose "Destiny Quest" from the left hand menu.  There is a new feature called "MyQuest."  With it, you can create shelves of books that you are reading, have read, and plan to read.  You simply look up the book title, then drag it to the appropriate shelf.  PLEASE ADD TWO BOOKS TO EACH SHELF.

You can also have "friends," and share with them your reading and your reviews.  Please send/accept friend invitations with me as well as all of the student library assistants.  Try commenting on at least one SLA's profile.  We are testing this out before teaching the rest of the students about it.

PLEASE ADD COMMENTS TO THIS BLOG POST regarding any questions, problems, or ideas you have about the use of MyQuest.

Taylor goal checkup!

I haven't made much progress with my goals, I still need to ask Mrs. Marrigan or Mrs. Trumm on how to repair books. I keep on forgetting that I need to do that. Maybe i'll write it on my hand that i need to ask them.

My goals(:

For the past few weeks I got to work on repairing books which I feel comfortable with now. I look forward to learning how to do more advanced repairs but I'm happy with what I have. I haven't gotten to work on it much this week but it's only Tuesday! I also look forward to be extremely fast at shelving because I haven't been so much lately.

Google a day

My question was "How many leagues is the drive from the current location of Queen Matilda's Tapestry to the site of the battle it portrays?" I found the answer by searching "242 miles in league" and the answer was 70.0974168

Week of Oct 17-20

Well, it has been a long time since I gave you a new task.  Each week during your blog day, you should be working on your goals and posting about your progress, even if I don't give you a new thing to work on.  That is your goal time.  This week, please do the following:

1.  Create a post filling me in on what you have been working on and learning.  What is your progress on your goals?
2.  Go to "A Google a Day" and practice your searching skills.  Report in a post on the question, the answer, and how you found it!
3.  Go to the Library Homepage and visit the link "Online Databases."  To see the pages, you will need to log in with your OSD account (username and student number).  Log in to each of the databases and look around.  In a post, describe one that you found interesting and how you might use it for a class or research.

NOTE:  You should end up with THREE POSTS this week.

Anne Shore's goals for the quater.

I am having tons of fun today because there are lots of people to check in and out and put holds for. I love doing that. Also my goals for this quarter for library assistant are to check out a book to at least 2 people each day, (even if that means bribing them haha!). And to get better at putting away books. Also to do a little better job on the shelve reading.

My goal achievements for this week

I learned how to tape the corner of the books that had loose corners and ripped covers. I am looking forward to working on how to learn more as the week progresses and for the rest of the school year.

Goals

I just started one of my goals yesterday, my Boston agenda. So far i have Saturday covered. I hope my family will go with what i have planned and enjoy the tours. I am learning a lot already about Boston. At mms time today and tomorrow (possible home) I will work on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I am sooooooooo exited we are leaving Friday night!!!!!!

New expectations and goals.

My new expectations and goals are, I really hope to be able to check out more books to people and help them with tech problems or what I can and also being able to check IN more books. My expectations is that I shouldnt have to shelf read...haha I dont like shelf reading it tedious. But I do like putting away books and organizing things.

Taylor's Goals!

1. What questions will you investigate? What do you want to know more about?
I want to learn how to repair books, I've always wanted to know and i think i would be good at it.
2. What product will you create to show your learning? A report, a video, a brochure, a bookmark, etc?
I will repair a book and then put it back on the shelves or bring it to a student/teacher
3. What help do you need from Ms. Merrigan or Ms. Trumm?
I will need Ms.Trumm or Ms. Merrigan to show me how to repair books.
4. How will you evaluate or measure your learning? How will you grade yourself?
I will grade myself by the quality of how i repair the book.

I am so exited on learning new things in the library! with the help of Clare of course. I want to learn how to repair books and check them out to students.

Claire's goals(:

I would love to spend my time in the library learning how to repair books. I think that writing a how to list for the next person would be a good idea or recording my before and afters. Ms. Trumm or Ms. Merrigan would be a big help because they would teach me how to fix them in the first place. I will grade myself by seeing how long or even if the book needs more repairs in the same place.

Week of 9/19-9/23

Finally we are going to have a full week.  I have put on the board the weekly schedule.  Your info lit day is the day that you will go on this blog and when you will work on your goals for the quarter. 

This week you will be writing your plan for accomplishing your goals this quarter.  In a separate post on this blog, please address the following as thoroughly as you can regarding your goals for the quarter:
1.  What questions will you investigate?  What do you want to know more about?
2.  What product will you create to show your learning?  A report, a video, a brochure, a bookmark, etc?
3.  What help do you need from Ms. Merrigan or Ms. Trumm?
4.  How will you evaluate or measure your learning?  How will you grade yourself?

Also, please work on the "Order in the Library" game.  Print out your certificates as you achieve higher levels and tape them to the door of the library office.

In a comment below, please introduce yourself to your fellow SLA's.

Haley's Q4 Goals

This quarter I would like to learn how to repair books. I think I could get help from Mrs.Trumm. Maybe we could do it during mmstime one week. I think i need to work on creating displays. I think I could get help with this from either of you. I think I need to participate in more library programs. I think I could do this by asking about any upcoming events.

4th quarter goals- roman

This quarter I would to learn how to repair books and how the process works. To do this I need help from Mrs.Trumm because she know to do it. Maybe we could set up a time during the week?
For patron assistance I would like to help students find popular books easily. Books such as the Twilight series or the Maximum Ride books.
I plan to attend the Barnes & Noble book fair so that I continue to improve on my reading aloud to the children for I am not very fluent at it.

Q4 Week 2 - respond to others' goals

This week read the goals that the other SLA's have set. Respond with a comment to at least three other students. Include the following types of information:

1. Does the goal make sense in the way that it is written? Are there ways to make it clearer or more measurable?
2. What information, advice, or help can you provide to the person who has set this goal?
3. How might this person measure their progress in achieving this goal?
4. Other thoughts or feedback.

Your comments should be thoughtful and well-written, using correct capitalization, spelling, and grammar.

Write a comment on your own goal that tells me to which SLA's you commented.

Sarah's Q4 Goals

Sarah's 4th Quarter Goals;

1. For library organization, I would like to master the process of placing holds. Claire and I did not have a chance to place any holds in 3rd quarter, so I would like to be able to place at least one hold this quarter.
2. For patron assistance; one of my goals is to put a couple displays together in 4th quarter, along with assisting and communication with patrons more.
3. For my own personal goal, being apart of library programs, like B.O.B (Battle of the Books) would be my priority for next year.

You and Ms. Trumm can help me by giving me projects or fun displays to work on over the course of the year.

4th Quarter Goals-Anna

I have many goals for this quarter having to do with Library Circulation, but I would most want to improve on placing holds. I was told how to do it, but I have never done it for real.
I love helping patrons. I think its a great way to learn what other people in Marshall are reading. This quarter I hope to improve recommendations based on what they have checked out. I have read tons of books and I think I have the same taste as others.
For my personal library goal, I want to be more informed of other library event either at our school or other libraries. This way I would be more informed about how our library works versus how others work.

Claire Q4 - MMS SLA goals

My goal for Library organization/circulation goals is to learn how to repair books so I can save Ms. Merrigan and Ms. Trumm time so they won't have to. I've never done it before but I'm willing to try.
For Patron assistance I am want to create displays because they help patrons know whats going on in the library and what new or really good books are. It will also help me so I know whats going on too.
Last but not least is my personal library goal. I want to shelve the books without Ms. Trumm or Ms. Merrigan checking them because not only will it save them time, I will know there in the right spot so patrons won't be confused where a certain book is.

-Claire

Q4 Week 1 - Set three goals for the quarter

In a new post, not a comment, please write about three goals for your work in the library this quarter. Include ideas for how you will achieve your goals, how we can help you, and how you will know when you have achieved your goals (what will you be able to do and how will you prove it?) Your goals should be in three areas:

1. Library organization/circulation goals - Examples include, but are not limited to, improving shelving skills, mastering how to place holds, learning to repair books, creating and following a cleaning/organizing schedule for a particular area in the library.

2. Patron assistance - Examples include, but are not limited to, creating reading lists on a particular topic or genre, creating displays, teaching a skill to patrons, improving your communication skills with patrons.

3. Personal library goal - Examples include, but are not limited to, learning how to use a particular database or technology tool, reading in a certain area/topic, visiting other libraries to learn how they are organized, attending or participating in library programs.

Elissa's Goals for Quarter Four

Here are my goals for the fourth quarter:
patron assistance: help library patrons more(not just scanning the bar code and them leaving). I could do this by just trying harder when checking books out.

Research skills: use a brooder variety of search methods when researching a topic. I could try and improve this while researching for the 8th grade project.

SLA skills: Get quicker at reading shelves for order. I could do this by practicing more. I could tell if I improved when we have to read for order before inventory.

End of Quarter reflection

As Quarter 3 comes to a close, reflect back on your learning and involvement in the library. In a comment below, please address the following:

1. In what area do you think you made the most growth? Explain.
2. In what area would you like to focus your learning next quarter? Explain.
3. What was your favorite part of being an SLA? Least favorite?

How did you do on each. Which of the four word categories was easiest and which was most difficult? What strategies did you learn and/or improve? How might you apply these strategies to your own personal and academic use of the internet?

Week 6!

What a crazy quarter this is turning out to be. All of you are doing a wonderful job of keeping the place going and learning new things about the library every day. Thank you so much!

For your SLA assignment this week, you will take a survey called TRAILS-9. It is a pre-test of library and information skills. We will review the results together and use them to identify areas of focus for learning.

If you are in 7th or 8th grade, you will take the 9th grade skills survey. This will help us identify what to work on to prepare you for high school. If you are in 6th grade, you will take the 6th grade skills survey. This will help us identify what to work on for success here at middle school.

You will use a personal code to log in to the survey. I am listing them here to make it easy for you. Please print our your results after you have taken the survey. Have fun!

Boolean Searching Assignment - due Sunday, January 30

Note, I forgot to ask you to print out your eLibrary search that you did last week. Please print out your saved list of resources (the citations, not the full articles!) and turn it in. Thanks!

This week we will focus on advanced searching using something called Boolean operators. Boolean operators allow you to put keywords together in your searches to expand or limit your results. Boolean operators help you to search smarter and faster. Look for Advanced Search options on search engines, databases, and even our library catalog, to combine your search terms.

Start by viewing two resources, a powerpoint and a video to get more information about using Boolean operators.
https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=dghpmf88_85c9793whp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa66AxTbjxA&feature=related

Now go to this link and print out the activity sheet. http://web.rbe.sk.ca/learningplus/informationliteracy/search1.html Complete the search activity using a major search engine, such as Google. This sheet uses + and - instead of AND and NOT, but it does the same thing. Turn the sheet in to me.

If you have any questions about how Boolean searching works, please come talk to me. It is very cool and well worth knowing! In the comment section below, please include a statement that begins "Boolean operators are useful in refining an internet or database search. Today I learned..."

Using eLibrary - due January 23

Over this quarter, you have experimented with several different tools that will help you with your upcoming research projects. You have set up a Noodle Tools account and learned how to make Bib cards and annotate, as well as share your project with a teacher. You have used the OPAC to create a resource list of print and web resources on a topic. You have evaluated a website based on a number of important criteria. You have used specialized encyclopedias, and some of you have used Gale Reference Library, an online database of specialized encyclopedias. As a bonus, you have gotten to be among the first at Marshall to use the Kindle e-reader device. As you have done these things, you have also maintained the library collection and served our patrons. Good job!

In our last few weeks of the quarter, we will explore eLibrary and Proquest, two very powerful databases for research. On both of these, you will be able to search for newspaper and magazine articles as well as websites, books, images, and other documents. eLibrary and Proquest are similar, but each has its unique features.

Log in to eLibrary using the username wa019remote and password remote001. Set up a my eLibrary account using your usual username and password. Conduct a search on your topic. Create a resource list with at least four different types of resources.

Research Skills - Website Evaluation - Week of January 10-17

The new year is off to a busy start, and last week we had special projects to keep us busy. Please be sure that you are checking the board for your daily task, though we may pull you off that to do a special project. If you finish early, a list of other duties is posted on the office door.

Before break you compiled a resource list of print and web resources for your project. This week you will focus on how to evaluate a website. First, watch this short, silly video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRIW1EhUDSk. Of course we know that the web includes lots of great stuff and lots of junk. Choose one of the websites from your resource list. Copy and paste the questions below into a Word document. Although many of the questions may be answered with a yes or no, please include details to support your response. Answer the questions, print and turn in. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

This is due at the end of your next blog day.
