[CASL-L] tracking purpose

[Dawn Zillich]

Hi,



I also use a paper sign in sheet and remind students it’s ok to be honest
because it helps me to show the administration what areas in the library
need more support, like technology. It lead to me getting a laptop cart
that had previously been kept in a teacher’s room and now is used by any
student in the library or can be checked out by other teachers. It also
serves a second purpose in case of emergencies, like a fire, I take the
list with me and hand it to the administrator in charge of reconciling
where students are.



I hope to one day have bar codes on student IDs and when the scan the ID
they can type it into the system, but that’s a far off dream.



Can’t wait to read other ideas about this!

Hi everyone,



I am in the process of trying to find a way to "track" or collect data on
what students are coming to the library to do.  Many come to sit and do
homework and chat with friends, while others browse the Internet or type
papers.  Besides constantly monitoring every student throughout the day, I
created a sign in sheet where as the students sign in, they also put down
what they are working on while here (of course we all know that there will
probably be some discrepancy as students "wander" off task, but it seemed
like a good way to begin).  Anyway, I just started this today, and thought
I would just put it out there to you all:



Do any of you track students' purpose for coming to your library media
center and how do you do it?



Thank you!
