Quick Start Guide this particular
guide is used to access the OPAC
system for students, teachers,
volunteers, and SLM in need of a
guide to access materials and
books. Everyone will embrace
information various formats using
technology. This is an efficient
and effective way to gain materials

helps students learn. I was also
able to learn more about how to
use technology in the media center
to guide users properly. (AASL

to develop and renovate the media
centers floor plans along with a
rational for the propose changes. I

The OPAC Training Aid is a

training aid for patrons and
staff to use as a guide to
locate and use the systems.
Online access to the OPAC
systems not only helps
accommodated the needs of
students but all diverse
learners are connected with
the product services. This aid
opened up discussions on
how automation impacts
access to information for
special groups as well as a
job aid for volunteers and
students. (AASL 2.2, 3.2)

The Pathfinder was created

along with other classmates
as a Reference Source Guide
for students and teachers to
access a detailed social
studies project. This
electronic resource can take
students beyond the
classroom and into another
country or time in history in a
matter of seconds using
integrated technology along
with literature. The resource
is aligned with the CCGPS
standards and teachers and
students use the sources as
needed, from video clips to
online webpages. Everything
included in the Pathfinder is
curriculum based and aligned
to the necessary standards for
a particular grade level.

The Budget training aide allowed

me to create a three-year budget
which included justifications for
my allocation of funds. This
project will change over the years,
interviewing the SLM offered
clear insight on how the
allocations are managed. This aide

Principal PowerPoint
This presentation helped me gain
information by researching how
successful the library program is in
the school and how the work
implemented helps to improve the
student achievement gap by
showing the principal in a
PowerPoint the results of how
successful the library is to student
learning and the how proactive the
library is for the school. This was
a very informative professional
development activity.

involved, a parent, an
