My biggest achievement as an sla is shelf reading and assisting students with their library needs. My biggest area of learning is checking out books and audiobooks to students. I will take my organization skills with shelving books and use it in my every day life, and in other library's. I will also take my ability to follow directions (written/verbal) and manage my priorities daily in any future job I have. I wish I could have learned how to hold a book for a student and learned more about how to repair books.
ReplyDeleteRosie, that is all very well said. I am glad that you feel that you gained skills that you will use in the future. Thank you for all of your work. I'm sorry that you didn't get to learn about repairing books. This was a funny quarter, and I know you two got left on your own to carry on as best you could. We have loads of books to try to repair, but no time to repair them!
Delete1. My biggest achievements in this quarter as an SLA is delivering books to patrons and it being less awkward communicating with them :)
ReplyDelete2. My biggest area of learning is processing and deleting holds.
3. I want to work as a librarian when I'm older, so I will use shelving skills.
4. I will take my experience in using the catalog and organizing books.
5. I wish I learned more about repairing books (:
Claire, I am glad that you feel like you have developed communication skills and a greater degree of comfort delivering books in classrooms. I know that that can be very intimidating, especially if you don't know the student! Thanks for pushing yourself. I hope that your experience using the catalog and finding books in the library will help you with research and library use throughout your life - and your career! I think that is very exciting that you would like to be a librarian. What kind of library would you like to work in? I am sorry that you did not learn to repair books. As I told Rosie, this quarter feels very crazy to me, and I am afraid you were left to fend for yourselves quite often. We have lots of books to repair, but very little time to devote to it. I am actually going to a book repair workshop on Monday, so I will share with you what I learn!
ReplyDeleteThank you!(: I look forward to repairing books next year if I could at my new school in Florida!(: I was thinking possibly a high school or collage library to work in when I'm older if I could(:
