>I just finished training 3-5 in the automated card catalog (Follett).  It
>has a graphical interface and is very user-friendly.  It even picks up a
>book title when spacing between words is incorrect!  I think it is
>important that you work with small groups.  I did it with groups of 6.  I
>demonstrated, showing the various features.  Then I gave them task cards to
>work on in groups of 3 (I only have 2 student stations).  They had to look
>up 3 titles and then find the books on the shelves.  They then had to
>search 3 authors.  I confined my first go around to titles and authors.
>Next I will do subjects and keywords.  The kids are very motivated and seem
>to look upon it as a treasure hunt (which indeed it is!)  I don't think you
>have to tie it in with their classroom studies (altho I am a firm believer
>of integrating library lessons that way).  They all have the need to find
>books.  As I am demonstrating, I ask them to tell me one or two favorites.
>I am fortunate to have a flexible schedule so could have small groups come
>one at a time.  In your case, you would have to plan a quiet structured
>activity for the rest of the class while you worked with groups.  Good
>luck....it is a fun thing to teach.  You will love it.  The kids just get
>so excited and proud when they find what they are looking for.

>Dawn, I too am working with 5 student available computers.  To teach use
of computer card catalog I put together a powerpoint *how to.*  Students
run through the presentation in groups of 2 or 3, with one student the
designated "mouse controller."  As a computer is free, the next group
cycles through.  Meanwhile, students not at the computer are browsing the
shelves looking for books to check out.
