| Cataloging is essential to tracking available resources |
Friday was another active day for this Instructional Materials Technician, who regularly makes deliveries to classrooms at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts.
From “Textbook HQ” inside SRCSA Library, I checked-in new arrivals, which included tubs of games that support the math curriculum. I delivered these to their intended destination after logging them into resource-inventory.
I also processed social-science textbooks that I’d requested from the district: verifying quantities-received against those needed in each classroom.
An important component in keeping track of materials is the automated resource catalog. By saving/creating a record for a title and inputting the number of copies, I am saving myself the work of having to re-count copies whenever I need that information. (Records will need to be updated, of course, to reflect new arrivals, or — heaven forbid — to account for copies that are lost or damaged.)
A “location” field lets me specify where on campus each of these copies reside, which is helpful when needing to verify that classrooms have sufficient quantities.
