Day 4 Troubleshooting

Library issues

Teachers removing books from the library without scanning them first. Although this is done with the best intentions it is hard to keep track of our library resources.

Day 4 Trouble shooting

I guess this problem is very common! And it is basic, but it boils down to management! And when you are not there,things happen. I try to keep on top of the librarians and get them to do their tasks in hand, but think some of them view coming to our Info Centre as monitors as an excuse to be out of class!It is keeping on top of all the shelving AND tidying too! An endless task I know. But you have to remember they are only primary school children...they just need to be guided by me and their teachers. It is a common space that needs respect too.

Day 4 Homework- Troubleshooting

Issue: We have had ongoing problems with student librarians, we had a fantastic screening process this year and got really good student librarians but they have not been as reliable as we would have hoped.
