8:00 - Take care of registration and parking (as needed)

• Try 1460 (Bldg A) first: there will be a note on the door if we move
  
• Come to classroom first: we have a strategy for parking which we will take care of first thing
  

9:00 

Gathering - we will start as soon as most folks are here
Pick up handouts and folders*
*Folders: I've brought along folders from previous classes. We won't use folders for this abbreviated class - I won't be carrying things back and forth. Instead, we'll use a single Inbox.
Wear your nametag!
Your 5-10 items: make sure you have identified or marked them in some way before we mix them all together.  You will get them back.

• Order of events
• Breaks and lunch: ~10am, ~noon, ~3pm
• SLM Games, no later than 4:30

Re-Introductions

What to do with index cards

Begin a Personal Needs Assessment: (Write your name on!)
Fill this out as we go along today. It should be legible, but not necessarily beautiful.

Why are we doing this? [=na;data; ID]

• Why?
• Big Picture Context: 4 roles of the SLMS, (teacher, instructional partner, info specialist, program administrator); mission of the MC, especially "providing intellectual and physical access to materials in all formats"
• Scenario: Program Development, Goals, Collection Development, Acquisition, and now... you've got that box of books.
• Organize the activity:
• Sticker: 1-5 confidence level
• Make sure your items are tagged
• Random groups of 5 - all perspectives are "right"
• Add to your own NA chart as you go
• Outcome: procedure/strategy for getting items on the shelf, ready to use. How will you organize them?
• Share with all by group
• Why did we do this? [=engage; na;data; ID]

The syllabus in painful detail, including each assignment

What needs to happen today?  Service project: start logistics planning

Our class web site
Food: A free lunch hour will be provided each day for you to visit the sandwich shop or elsewhere.
Things to sign up for:

• Jobs (voluntary)
• Tech Tips or Last Word stories - we will do these if we have volunteers to provide them.

Service Project Menu
Note: Helene Freese will come tomorrow if there's any interest in her project -- I must let her know today

Preparation - big chart on board
 

Decide: which one? Find out: who else is going there? Decide: WHEN? You may need to call your host.
Then:

What is the task?
In order to do the task, what do we need to know?
What resources will help?
Which of these are most important RIGHT NOW?
How will we find out?
Vocabulary list construction

I need input on What do we need to know? so I can plan forward.
Make your host happy first (time, number of guests, tasks, etc.)
Then register your project with me by June 8; sooner, if possible. You have lots of time to do the project itself.

Agenda Overview

More index cards!

Today's focus: laying some technical foundation (processing basics; automation basics; MARC basics) and getting some practice with MARC; starting on the Access Enabler project

Finish up yesterday's Wasman presentation
Service Project details/logistics

Questions?

A thought: People first. Always put patron needs above your "project work" in the media center. Usually, cataloging tasks fall under the category of "project work."

• A few muddy points: Processing; communicating to vendors automation specs
  

Two ways to go (MAF's opinion):

1. Following the principle that patrons should have to search as few "filing cabinets" as possible, it makes sense to catalog web sites within your OPAC. I think you should formulate criteria for what kinds of web sites should be included.  I would also recommend using very brief records, concentrating on subject headings.  Web sites disappear quickly, so weigh the effort this will take. Also, web site should be directly clickable through your OPAC, or there's not much point.  There are many examples of MARC records for web sites out there; you can use all the normal "cheats" that we've learned about.
2. As an alternative, consider the webliography route.  This would be easier for YOU, but weigh the benefits to patrons. If you have an online curriculum map that teachers really use, this would be a good way to go.  You could organize pages for teachers by curriculum, and different pages for students.  I see a lot of effort spent in this direction.
