- Input from faculty and staff regarding resource selection

| West Johnston receives periodic shipments of new books from the Junior Library Guild (JLG). These books are selected from titles of high interest to teen and young adult readers. |
| This item, pictured in the first photo below, was recieved by the library without a catalog record. I worked with the media center specialist to create an original cataloging record in Follett's Destiny Library Management System. |
3.4 Maintains a collection addressing curricular needs and learning goals. Possible artifacts include:
- analysis of collection
- statistics about key areas
- communication with and from teachers regarding needs
- surveys information
| This collection analysis was done in conjunction with the annual inventory and analysis process. I participated in conducting the inventory of the library's collection and technological assets. This data was used to assess the collection, circulation, and age of the collection.
|
 | While working at the public library, I prepared a list of books to purchase to round out the collection's holdings of the 2012 Young Adult Library Service's (YALSA) Teens' Top Ten nominations.
|
 | Additionally, I prepared a list of 2012-13 Battle of the Books titles that were not in the collection so that they could be ordered. Literature promoting Battle of the Books titles was posted in the public library's Young Adult and Children's sections. |
3.8 Interacts effectively with students, staff, administration, parents, and the community to promote and expand the school library media program. Possible artifacts include:
- evidence of ongoing collaborative efforts with teachers
- evidence of promotion of the media center and its resources

 | West Johnston's School Media Center's Circulation Desk - this is a primary point of contact with the student and faculty as they enter the library. |
| This document summarizes the conceptual and planning stages of my in-service training session, as well as a reflection on the assignment. Links to the actual video are included at the top of the 2nd page. |
| This form, accessible from the media center's website, allows teachers to submit information about lessons and technological applications around which they would like to collaborate with the media center specialists. |
