This week my media specialist showed me how to catalog (update MARC Records) new books that arrive to the school. When the delivery guys brought in 12 boxes of books my eyes stretch. I thought to myself that I got my work cut out for me when I become a media specialist. I ask the media specialist how long it normal takes her to complete this task by herself and she told a week and a half. My media specialist open a box to show me the process. After showing me what to do it was time to go to work. So I got a book and start cataloging. My first box I moved like a slow a turtle because I had wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly. I notice doing the school hours we wasn't able to get much done because of classes and interruptions. We had to stay after school to complete the task. I process 4 boxes so I was proud of myself. Oh! since my media specialist order her books from the same program that the county use the only thing we had to do was stamp the books, label them, update the MARC records , find space for new books, and shelve them. This week was a great week because I learn how to update MARC Records. My take away for this week is when cataloging plan to stay late and expect not to get a lot done during school hours.
