Re: STUDENTS USING BARCODE READER

[Janet Sue Welsch <jwelsch@TENET.EDU>]

I have a middle School, 99 percent of the books are checked out by
student assistances.  When I was going on line I taught my students to
type in books they in turned taught others. Yes they made mistakes, so do
I. It became a challenge for them to find the time to come in and HELP.
Without their help it would have taken forever.  I tried to weed before
they typed, some got good at weeding damaged books, they left them for me
to check over.  If there were any questions about anything I was close
by, usually teaching or helping other students with assignments.
        I don't know how this would work in elementary, maybe with your
oldest class, there are always a few who are more mature than the
others.  There are two or three who want to be assistants.  Once again I
encourage students in this because they need to learn there is work
involved in being a librarian.  None of it comes easy.
