I am the solo librarian of a small charter middle school in Dorchester, MA and a full time graduate student of library and information science at Simmons. This is my first blog, in which I intend to describe the process of automating my tiny, little library.
The Smith Leadership Academy Library is the small, but growing, library of Smith Leadership Academy Charter Public School in Dorchester, MA. The library serves a student body of just under 200 students and faculty of 31 educators and administrators. I work three days per week and am a full time student at Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science. My duties are to support teachers with curriculum, help students with their work, and most importantly, automate the library. I also run a reading incentive program.
My goals are to make the library usable: to allow the check out of books and to provide resources students need for their own academic success, and automate the library with software that allows for growth and efficient use of the library by allowing patrons to search library holdings and lets me track books.
