I am feeling a bit giddy, knowing I will be finished with this semester after completing this blog. This semester was really quick and I have learned so much. Subject headings are still some what tricky for me.
I did enjoy the cataloging module. This was very interesting in learning how to find the Dewey Decimal numbers to match the books. There is a method to the madness. I also enjoyed building the numbers, even though this wasn’t part of our assignment. Now it makes since when I would see some numbers with only one decimal place and others with four or five. I have actually started using all the information that I have learned this semester. The principal had bought a few professional books for our teachers and I had yet to put them into our automated system. (Mainly, because I had no clue how to start.) After I had decided how the books should be catalogued I did check with Titlewave and the numbers were the same. Yeah!!
I am looking forward to my break in May. I have inventory for the school library as well as inventory school wide to begin. Even with this I will enjoy May, because June and July will be filled with my summer courses.
Signing off,
Whitney
