It was a pretty slow day today for subbing, so I was able to get some library work in. The students who I worked with yesterday on the CultureGrams were in the library and the library's computer lab working on their research paper. I helped them out when I could throughout the day with any questions they had either about the CultureGram site or general research questions they may have had. For the most part, the students did a great job. They must have been listening and paying attention yesterday when I was in their class. I also helped other students check out books, find books, and reserve books while they were in the library.

At the middle school, I helped out the library aide with her ongoing inventory project. She is going through the entire collection, scanning every item, and pulling the books that are not in the system. Then the items are entered into Alexandria and put back onto the shelves. I entered books into the system myself using some of the skills I have learned in my cataloging class. I entered the title, author, publisher, copyright date, a summary (if listed), Dewey number, physical description, and subject headings; all which make up the MARC record of an item and I got all the information from the physical book.
