Do you have a free hour? Need an elective?

Sign up for LIBRARY SCIENCE!

This course is designed to acquaint students with the organization and operational procedures involved in running a school library. Students gain skills in use and maintenance of the online library catalog, including data entry, check in and out, and materials management. Daily activities include assisting other students with research, book location and copy needs. Experience is given in shelving and processing books, displaying periodicals, fine collection, reference clipping, vertical files maintenance, and book repair. In addition, students learn how to use standard online research data bases and how to acquire materials through outside library systems. Assignments include reading a wide variety of young adult and other literature, writing reviews, and posting on the Celtic Librarian web page blog. Students also attend the OHS Book Club meetings and will facilitate at least one of the book discussions. Students contemplating taking this class should be highly motivated, very organized, love to read and talk about books, and be eager to learn more about research methods and the internet.

Contact Ms Crawford for further information.
