Lesson 9

This lesson was not too much new for me considering I have been in the library for a few years now. How I did learn that the LCC system is being used in Winnipeg and some universities. I was not aware of this happening and it is a good thing to know. I thought I would cut and paste in the Dewey categories for this posting. This is taken right from the class notes. I often talk to the students about these sections and the Dewey system. I think I will copy and paste this into my library blog as another thing for the kids to look at when they log in.

I liked the rules to remember.... moving a good book if it is not being circulated where it is, bend the rules and that Dewey is not a perfect system. I often do this. There are some series for children's novels that have different authors and they are all over the library. In order to get the kids hooked on these books I created some bins for these books and put a sticker on the book so the students shelving know where it goes back. A good example would be the "My Story" historical fiction series. Graphic Novels also have their own bins too as it is much easier then sending the kids all over the library for their favourite GNs.

In reading the class postings for ideas I really liked some of them and I thought this was a great idea to share our activities. I have not done posters before. I think I might try that this year as the kids will love them and they will be learning more without even knowing it. I posted about a "library searching game" that the kids really love!! They often ask to play that game.
