Location for website

As a late comer to website cataloging I’m not sure how much editing  
needs to be done once the websites are on Oasis. They need a  
location, do they also need a dissection code?

I just give them a WEB location to make it clearer for staff and 
students to find
 From memory -N for no borrowing too!

Items for library accessioning

What resources am I required to accession through OASIS?
“The range of resources that should be accessioned through the library will partly be determined by the policy of the school. Such a policy is developed in consultation with the principal and other members of the school. A library committee can help in the development process.As a general rule you will be required to accession all resources purchased by the library, and professional resources purchased by grade, faculty and key learning area (KLA) groups. Reference copies of Departmental resources, for example, syllabuses and the Literacy & Numeracy Strategy documents, should be accessioned through the library. More and more schools are choosing to accession all computer software, including CD-ROMS, through the library as OASIS Library provides an excellent vehicle for meeting audit requirements.Remember that accessioning the resources through the library does not mean that they need to be housed in the library. If material is housed elsewhere in the school, responsibility for stocktake and management of those resources can be assumed by someone else.”

Cataloguing textbooks

Using OASIS Library as the management system for schools textbooks is not recommended. Here is the quote from the DET “School Library & Information Literacy” FAQs page:
What about text books?
OASIS Library can cope with class sets of text books. However, it is not compatible with the teaching and learning role of the teacher-librarian.
If large numbers of class sets of text books are added to OASIS Library, this would have the overall effect of creating problems with loan limits for students, overdue management, stocktake, and statistical reporting.
This will create problems in providing students and teachers with efficient access to resources supporting the teaching and learning program of the school.
It would also be a source of frustration for users where large numbers of such resources are not available for loan. Issues of responsibility for, and workload engendered, in processing large numbers of resources not available to day to day users would also need to be addressed.

I know that there are some libraries who do take responsibilty for the textbooks (usually under pressure from various faculties), but unless there is adequate increase in staffing to cover the extra work you should resist the imposition. Susan has been given 2 relief days for stocktake of textbooks which is obviously not enough time going by her comment. The management of textbooks is not and should not be the responsibility of the library – each faculty should have a staff member who is in charge of their textbooks and that faculty should be responsible for the management of their textbooks. If you do it for one faculty, the others hear of it and think that it’s a good idea and want the library to do theirs as well.
