[CASL-L] tracking purpose

[Nancy Carlson]

Hi Everyone,
We hand out passes to freshmen and sophomores starting at 7 am. Juniors and seniors do not need passes. The passes have their names; whether or not they need a computer or are they looking to use library resources; what subject they are working on; the period they are coming in. They add their name to our list that is sectioned by periods. They can get passes from us in between periods or from their teachers if they are working on a specific assignment, though 95% of students get passes from us.
After checking in with study hall, they then use a computer sign in program, created using file pro, to sign in. We print off the sheets every afternoon and keep a copy of them. This we find helpful to present data, when needed. In the fall 2014, we hope to place a barcode on the student id so they can scan in.

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!
