Recently, I was thinking about the literacy closets and our involvement in their automation. Several months ago, we met as a group and got the process started at Cranston-Calvert. How's it going? Jane, I know you had planned work sessions on Saturdays, and have probably been working on it since we visited. Stacey, I know you're also at C.C. Since we planned to use C.C. as the model for future automation, I was wondering:
1. What has been accomplished so far?
2. How many hours/days has it taken to accomplish that?
3. How many library media specialists, reading specialists, teachers, volunteers are involved?
4. How many hours/days/weeks would you estimate remain?
5. What does it take to automate ONE literacy closet? Is it feasible during workdays or only after school and on weekends?
6. What does this mean for the future in automating the other 4 elem. schools? What will happen if/when consolidation of schools begins?
7. What will it take to transfer collections to other schools?

Jane, sounds like you and some colleagues put in some hours automating either the Cranston-Calvert or Carey literacy closets a few Saturdays ago. How is it coming? Is one close to completion?
Jane, Jeanne stopped by to say how wonderful it was to have the closets automated, she noticed that most of the books had been catalogued, and she says it is going to make the end of the year (presuming we can run a report for her on her holdings) terrific, as she will know how many copies she has of stuff and where other copies can be located!
Just passing on the "attagirl!"
