HIT: Cataloging book sets, games, and other teacher resource ma terials

["Estes, Alicia" <aestes@HART.K12.KY.US>]

I had a request to post a hit to the list.
> Here are the responses I received!!
>
> We utilize the following
>
> GAM   Game only
> CC      Classroom Collection (class set of books)
> KIT      These are usually multimedia kits with handbooks, CD-ROMS,
> videos, multiple formats
> MAN   Math Manipulatives
>
> Each classroom has it's own barcode. The materials are checked out
> for the school year to the class. The books (and equipment, etc.) are
> classified with "CL" in the call # to separate from Library books. I would
> number each book in a set and then barcode only the container they are in.
> That would save lots of barcodes and work. Have a great year.
>
>
> We have teacher resource books which I prefix with a TR (for teacher
> reference). We also catalogue class texts for some faculties and I
> prefix these with EF for English Faculty, CH for Chinese, ICT for ICT
> and so-on - not very imaginative I know!
>
>
> ----------
> We use CL for classroom sets or classroom libraries; PB for paperback & P
> (professional) for teacher materials/books/a-v, etc. Hope this helps.  We
> just made up the CL so we wouldn't worry about getting those books back.
>
>
> I always used the prefix "KIT" when I was in the elementary level.  Unless
>
> it was a book specifically for professional use, then I used "TR" for
> Teacher Resource.
>
>
> I use several different prefixes.
>
> For booksets, I use BS.
>
> For other instructional items, I use TE for teacher
> edition.  I have used TE for manipulatives, etc.

> I use PROF for my professional collection, but we're a new school and it's
> a very small collection; only regular books and big books.

>
> I put them in a plastic box from Wal-Mart and call them a KIT FIC.

>
> I don't catalog class sets anymore as we created a book room for those and
> the department chairs take care of those. The other items that you listed
> I
> catalog as kits with KITS as the prefix.
