This week grades 3-6 spent their library time in the computer lab learning about our on-line card catalog system. Students have access to the on-line system on a library PC, but have not had group instruction on how to use the system. Having library in the lab allowed me to instruct large group, and individually, with each student working on a PC. This was a great opportunity for me to get to know the students in a different setting and also help them learn our system more effectively.
Students had an overview of the system and then completely a worksheet using the on-line cataloging system. Our system is similar to the one used at Fort Vancouver, so for review, you might ask your student to log on to http://www.frvl.org/ and try looking up a resource for their next project. The worksheet they completed will be coming home in their next Friday Folder.
