Spent a lot of time showing the new media clerk how a few things worked. Don’t want to overwhelm her but lots of laminating and banner making and resources being asked for. Gave a crash course in call numbers and book sections but know it will need to be done again when there is a more practical need.
Attended hours of administrative meetings with the staff. Got excused from a third of them to work on book ordering and check the magazine subscription which, due to budgets, started over the summer while we were all gone.
I am trying to establish a more hands off approach to technology support in the building—it is currently one of those gray areas where sometimes I can help and yet all the time am asked and expected to rush around helping. And while my clerk will be great with the students she is not at all adept with anything technological related and so can offer zero assistance. I made up signs to be posted in the four labs in the building with the tech support number and email. Also made up a sign for how students need to save work to teacher’s intranet folders since there is no printing in the media center.
Organized and took a mental inventory of equipment and supplies in the media offices. The office was left in chaos at the end of last school year.
