RELIB Staff Day 2014

Author: Crystal Adkins
Ruth Enlow Library of Garrett County

Top 3 things learned:
1) Lexile Scores-We learned a little more about what the scores mean and how to
find them on the Scholastic website. We briefly went over the search function
and how to use it effectively.

2) AR Books- We reviewed that AR books are elementary age and that the Lexile
scores are for middle school. I learned that there is a search sight for
these as well.

3) Genealogy Resources- We had a whirlwind of information flying at us in the
brief amount of time allotted for class. There are many, many resources in
the library, physically and ones that we provide online, but we also briefly
touched on some of the other resources out there, for example the genealogy
library that the Mormon church curates.

How to implement
First, I need to explore all these great resources. Then, I will be able to effectively answer patrons requests for Lexile scores, ARlists and books for their children from these categories. I will also, be able to direct genealogy patrons to the right resources to conduct their research.
