Technical Services Manual

Alicia LeRoux, Librarian

A. Introduction
Oak Knoll Middle School is located at 10295 Chamberlayne Road in
Mechanicsville, Virginia. As the newest middle school in Hanover County
Public Schools, the building welcomed students fourteen years ago when it
opened in 2001. OKMS has three grade levels, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and
each grade has approximately 12 classes. The student body totals 865. The
largest population group, at 83%, is white. The remaining student body is
represented by the following groups: 10% African American, 3% Hispanic, 2%
Asian, and less than 1% each of American Indian/Alaskan Native and Native
Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. The median household income for Hanover County
residents is $94, 025 which is higher than the median household income for
the Richmond Metropolitan area ($86,029) and for the state of Virginia
($85,642). The school system is located at the intersection of I-95 and I-64.
I-295 forms the southern border of the county. Oak Knoll is located about four
miles north of I-295. The county ranges from rural to suburban, and is part of
the larger community for the metropolitan Richmond area.

B. Mission of OKMS
Oak Knolls mission statement is Building responsible and respectful
global citizens in a safe and positive environment.
The main goals of the school support this statement. We encourage
students to become life-long learners. We foster local learning with global
understanding. We seek to develop students with 21st century skills. We
want students to connect individual learning with collaborative processes.
Finally, we want students to respect others and care about the environment in
which they learn.

C. Mission of the OKMS Library

The librarys philosophy statement is Creating a learning destination
where students are welcomed and encouraged to learn how to effectively use
available resources including technology and to broaden their knowledge of
the world.

The library supports the schools mission statement by positively

encouraging learning and modeling appropriate and respectful behaviors.
The focus is on students taking ownership in their learning as well as having
respect for the materials and technology used. The library believes in
teaching student skills. This includes finding necessary information,
determining what information is essential, and citing where the information
came from. The library seeks to find ways to create independent learners so
that the skills learned become problem solving methods in the future.
Students will attain skills that will apply to learning at the middle school level
which they can then apply to any higher level education and training they
receive.

D. Role of Technical Services in Missions

In order to create a learning destination for the students of OKMS, the library seeks
to maintain itself as an open environment whereby material is easily and readily
obtained. The librarian will acquire materials to meet the schools curriculum in
alignment with the Virginia SOLs as well as the AASL Standards for the 21st Century
Learner. The librarian will refer to the Collection Development Policy Manual when
making decisions for the learners within the OKMS community.
The librarian will catalogue, process, and feature all materials according to the
technical policies set forth by the school. The technical policies are designed so that
students and staff may access material in a non-restricted and efficient manner. By
using the online catalog, materials will be processed using the most recent editions
of the Sears List of Subject Headings and Abridged Dewey Decimal. Support for
processing may also be found with imported MARC records from Follett Alliance Plus.
In order to reach and improve patron accessibility to the most recently processed
acquisitions, the new materials will be featured on the OKMS Library Blog as well as
on Destiny, the online library catalog. This will inform the learning community what
new materials are available for use.

E. Size and Scope of the Collection

The library seeks to maintain a diverse and ever expanding collection. The library
considers the collection to be both the basis and an expansion of student learning.
Materials chosen are considered when meeting the needs of a 21 st century learner.
The diversity of the population, with regards to learning styles and learning abilities,
is also considered. The library seeks to make all students at OKMS successful and
active learners. With a great emphasis placed on technology and collaboration,

research is a main focus at OKMS. Therefore, any acquisitions to the library are
considered for quality rather than quantity.
Currently, the average age of the collection is 2002 with 15,507 recognized call
numbers within the online catalog. With 867 students enrolled, the library maintains
an average of 17.89 items per student. The county recommends that school
libraries maintain at least 12 items per student; therefore, OKMS exceeds the county
number of recommended items available for each student.
Two areas of need are the sciences and materials labeled as easy. In order to meet
the updated curriculum needs of the science classes, new materials are being
considered for acquisition. As the special education department has recently
increased in student population, more materials labeled as easy are also a need.
Materials labeled as easy will also support the general population, some of which are
struggling students. The reference section is also the oldest within the library.
Relevant and useful reference items are another need and focus for the OKMS library.
The library also maintains eight databases and a subscription to Discovery
Education.
See the chart below for a recent collection analysis performed using Title Wise
Collection Analysis:

summary.

F. Staffing, Budgeting, and Scheduling Implications

Staffing: Since opening in 2001, the student population has not exceeded 950
students. Therefore, one full time librarian is responsible for the duties and
responsibilities of the school library. The librarian maintains the collection
development, acquisitions, the budget, and collaboration with the teachers of OKMS.
The librarian is also responsible for managing the Reading Olympics program before
and after school hours, as well as a reading club which meets at least once a month
during the school year. In order to serve the learning community 24/7, the librarian
also maintains the library website and blog. A paraprofessional is also assigned to
the library. After budget cuts in 2009, the paraprofessional was reduced from fulltime to part-time. The current paraprofessional serves in the morning hours at the
adjacent high school and the afternoon hours at OKMS. If the need arises, the
paraprofessionals hours may be altered to better serve the needs of the learning
communities at both schools. The librarian is responsible for training the
paraprofessional as well as any parent or student volunteers.
Budgeting: The librarian maintains a yearly budget based on collection needs, as
well as requests from faculty members. The budget is formed on allocated monies
received from school division. The monies are used to meet the needs of the library
include maintaining and updating the current collection, the databases and any
other subscriptions. The librarian may also maintain separate accounting for monies
received from outside revenues such as the book fair and the PTA.
Scheduling: OKMS follows an A/B schedule. The librarian maintains regular
opening hours of 8:15 to 3:30. Language Arts teachers routinely visit the library with
their classes in order to facilitate the checking out of reading material. In addition,
all other teachers are encouraged to collaborate with the librarian on a flexible basis
in order to meet the learning needs of their students. A collaboration form for
scheduling and planning is available for the teachers on the schools shared drive.
Students within the building may visit the library on their own, such as during home
base or before the first class at 8:30. Students will also access the library through
whole class instruction during a time of collaboration between a content teacher and
the librarian. Since the librarian must meet the needs of over 900 students and staff
with a part-time paraprofessional, it is essential that the paraprofessional be trained
in the technical processing of materials. This will ensure that acquisitions will be
made readily available. When not teaching or collaborating, the librarian will also
manage the technical services of the library. The librarian is responsible for training
the paraprofessional how to process and to catalog new materials. If the librarian is
teaching and the paraprofessional is not available, volunteers may be used in order
to manage the check-out desk. This will help to meet the learning needs of the
OKMS community.

I. Step by Step Instructions for Cataloging

The OKMS Library seeks to provide easy and efficient access to all materials within
our collection. The Sears List of Subject Headings will be consulted for maintenance
of records which includes current holdings as well as future additions. If records are
acquired from a vendor, the librarian will review subject headings for consistency

and accuracy with the current collection standards. To maintain our high standards
for easy and efficient access, the librarian will follow these steps:
1. For cataloged items, the Sears List of Subject Headings will be consulted. At
least one subject heading will be used, but no more than five.
2. SUBJECT HEADINGS--In general, follow the rule of three headings to ensure
efficient and easy access for our patrons. Excel records will be kept for
anything not listed in Sears (such as local place names), but necessary for
accurate cataloging. The following guidelines will be used:
a. Topical (MARC 650a) Clothing and dress; Gun control; Achievement tests;
Heart disease; School libraries
b. Form
i.
Arrangement of materials (MARC 650a) Almanacs;
Encyclopedias and dictionaries
ii.
Genre (MARC 655a) Science fiction; Historical fiction; Graphic
novels; Mystery fiction
c. Geographic (MARC 651a) Richmond (Va.); Virginia; France
d. Names names are beyond the scope of Sears and a list must be kept by
the library to maintain consistency.
i.
Personal (600a) Washington, George
ii.
Corporate (610a) American Library Association
3. SUBDIVISIONS
a. Topical (subfield x) Clothing and dress History; Mathematics Study
and teaching
b. Geographic (subfield z) Bridges France; Agriculture North Carolina
c. Chronological (subfield y) China History 1912-1949
d. Form (subfield v) English language Dictionaries; Photography
Handbooks, manuals, etc.

J. Cross-Referencing
To maintain the ease and use of the OKMS on-line catalog, cross-referencing will be
used for the benefit of our patrons. The library will employ the terms see and see
also to further promote efficiency of location materials. While the Sears List of
Subject Headings will be consulted, at times patrons may conduct a search that is
not authorized by this authority. In these cases, the see and see also references
will further assist our patrons.
EXAMPLES:
Search term: Knights of the Round Table
See: Arthurian romances
Search term: Segregation
See also: African Americans Segregation
The following cross-references are to be used in order to assist our patrons:

K. Step-by-Step Instructions for Maintenance of Authority

Records
When adding new materials to the collection or to verify the accuracy of the current
collection, the OKMS librarian assumes responsibility for verification. To assist with
this process, the latest edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings will be used for
subject heading and the Library of Congress name authority file will be used,
http://authorities.loc.gov/.
EXAMPLES:
Personal Name for several Winston Churchills
100 1 _aChurchill, Winston,
_d1871-1947.

L. Step-by-Step Instructions for Physical Processing of

Print Materials
*See Appendix D for examples
The librarian will refer to this section for processing print materials for the
OKMS library. For cataloging purposes, RDA (Resource Description & Access),

Abridged Dewey Decimal Classification, and Sears List of Subject Headings

will be used.
The following materials will be used for processing. All materials will be found
in the audio/visual room on a shelf labeled Cataloging. Materials: school
stamp, ink pad, barcode sheet, plastic covers for barcodes, spine labels,
plastic covers for spine labels, dust jackets, tape, and scissors
1. When new books are received, check the items against the packing slip
and the original order.
2. Examine books thoroughly for damages or flaws. Contact vendor
immediately if any problems are discovered.
3. For each item, enter the MARC records or follow guidelines set forth for
standard cataloging. If the vendor completed the cataloging, double
check for accuracy.
4. Stamp inside front cover, title page, front of flyleaf, and inside back
cover with Oak Knoll Middle School property stamp.
5. Print out the barcode and spine label for each book. Place the barcode
vertically in the upper left hand corner of the front of the book. Next,
place the spine label two inches from the bottom of the book edge.
Cover both with protective labels unless the book will be covered with a
book jacket.
6. For books that are received as gifts, complete and place a gift label
horizontally in the center of the inside front cover.
7. Place a dust jacket cover on all hardback books with a jacket to protect
the cover.
8. Magazines and periodicals are not cataloged; therefore, these items do
not receive barcode labels. They should be stamped with the property
stamp on the front cover, back cover, and table of contents page.
9. Determine if new materials are classified as Young Adult. Look on
http://www.follett.com to find out more. If not found on Follett, check
http://www.pamcat.org for the OCLC review. If it is a YA novel, place a
YA sticker approximately inch above the bar code on the front cover
of the book and cover the sticker with clear adhesive that wraps around
the spine and back cover. If this sticker placement will cover the title
and/or author, then it can be placed to the right of the bar code label.
10.
Books identified for the Reading Olympics program will have an
RO sticker placed on the top portion of the spine, approximately inch
from the top edge.
11.
Before shelving the books, scan the barcode to ensure the book is
in the system.

M. Step-by-Step Instructions for Physical Processing of

Non-Print Materials
*See Appendix D for examples

The librarian will refer to this section for processing non-print materials for the
OKMS library. For cataloging purposes, RDA (Resource Description & Access),
Abridged Dewey Decimal Classification, and Sears List of Subject Headings
will be used.
The following materials will be used for processing. All materials will be found
in the audio/visual room on a shelf labeled Cataloging. Materials: school
stamp, ink pad, barcode sheet, plastic covers for barcodes, spine labels,
plastic covers for spine labels, tape, scissors, black and silver permanent
markers, engraver
1. As materials arrive, check all items against the packing slip and original
order.
2. Check materials for damages; contact vendor immediately if any are
found.
3. For DVDs, CDs, software, media kits, and similar items, print out
barcodes and place them in the upper left hand corner in a vertical
position. Write the barcode number on the container cover and on the
item itself with a permanent marker. Use a silver marker if the item is
black.
4. Place the bar code label on the center of the left-hand side of the plastic
cover for the item. Place the call number sticker that includes the
prefix and call number on the spine of the plastic cover (wrap around
spine if necessary because spine is too thin).
5. On the paper/cardboard packaging that includes product advertisement
and information OKMS Library should be stamped if possible. If not
OKMS Library should be written with a black sharpie or silver if the
item itself is black or dark.
6. All new equipment received will need to be engraved with OKMS
along with the bar code number. Both OKMS and the bar code should
be written on the equipment with appropriate colored permanent
markers.
7. Before shelving the non-print items or placing the equipment in the
audio/visual room, scan the barcode to ensure the items are in the
system.

N. Step-by Step Instructions for Catalog Maintenance

Destiny allows for efficient maintenance of catalog records of the OKMS Library. The
following steps will be taken to ensure materials are up to date and easy to find:
The catalog is updated on daily and weekly intervals whenever Destiny
schedules this feature. Destiny sends out emails to notify of daily changes
which normally do not interrupt the use of the online catalog. Larger updates

and installations take place during the middle of the night so patrons are most
likely not affected.
Subject headings will be updated as needed. The library relies on the most
current edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings. The catalog will be
updated to reflect any updates regarding subject headings.
Call numbers will be updated for any new items added to the system. Current
materials will not be changed. The most recent copy of the Abridged Dewey
will be used.
Adding and updating procession steps for any new formats will take place as
new materials are added to the system. Changes to currently held items will
only be made if the format or cataloging is out of date and prevents the user
from easily finding the material.

O. Step-by Step Instructions for Inventory

Two weeks before the last day of school, an inventory will be performed. At this
time, the library will close and teachers will be asked to return all borrowed items for
the year. Exceptions will be made in case students or teachers need materials in
order to complete their studies and teaching.
For inventory:
The librarian should print all items to be found section by section.
Then, the librarian will scan barcodes using the hand-held scanner in the following
order:
1. Reference (1 day)
2. Fiction (2 days)
3. Story Collection (1 day)
4. Non-fiction (2 days)
5. Educator (1 day)
6. Audio/visual and Media Kits (2 days)
7. Equipment (1 day)
o Any item needing repair or replacement should be set aside and noted.
o Any item that is missing a barcode or is not recognized by the scanner should
also be set aside to be updated.
o A list of lost or missing items should be made.
o Any items needing cleaning should also be set aside.
The time remaining from the last day of school until the librarian leaves for the
summer is to be spent updating barcodes, deciding what to order if items were
broken, and cleaning or fixing items.

P. Rationale/Justification for Policies/Procedures

This manual serves as a guide for all technical policies and procedures regarding
library materials. It is updated and maintained so that the current librarian, as well
as any new librarians in the future, can easily follow the manual. The manual

supports the schools mission and ultimate goal of ensuring equitable and efficient
access to all materials to all students and staff.
