Instruction/Activities
Direct Instruction:
Putting the catalog on the overhead, we will explore the catalog while students
watch. We will use books from the shelf to explain how they are placed on the
shelves. We will go over searching using the catalog, take a look at how the record
is displayed and recognizing important information about the record.
Modeling and Guided Practice:
Searching together to locate various records online. Students will then be given
various items in the catalog to search for then add them to the Library Quest.
Independent Practice:
In teams, students will engage in a library quest to find several books and records
in the online catalog. See the attached directions for students.
Sharing and Reflecting:
Students will then use the online catalog to locate one book, by browsing, that
they would be interested in reading and locate it on the shelf. We will discuss the
value of knowing how to locate things in the library and how they will now know
how to find items in almost any library as the catalog and organization is uniform.
