<b>Subject:</b> [Michlib-l] Helping a school library automate</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Greetings all! I received a phone call from a teacher at Highland Pines School in Caro in regards to automating their school library. Highland Pines provides programs for the early childhood special education, moderately cognitive impaired,
severely cognitive impaired and severely multiple impaired students. One of the main goals of the school is to teach life and job skills enabling students to work in the kitchen, day care, and library for example.
<div><br>
<div>Currently, when a student wants to check out a book from the school library, another student library clerk checks the item out by writing down the student's name, school id#, and title. The teacher mentioned that depending upon the library clerks ability,
things may not always be accurate or very legible. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This teacher is in search of a circulation software package that would be easy enough and pretty basic for the student clerks to use and for the school to implement. She didn't mention cost. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have suggestions? Perhaps a open source software? She realizes they will have to barcode their collection, but they are hoping not only to digitize the collection, but provide more of a technology skill set for their students. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone has suggestions or ideas or know of other schools that use a specific system, please feel free to email me off list. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, thank you for your input! </div>
