6| Tools, Resources, and Help
Don’t Overwhelm Yourself
Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will your genrefied library. Whichever route you take, the “slow and steady” or the “all at once” approach, it will take time. Proper planning and using all available tools will help you to not feel discouraged.
Do Ask for Help and Use Resources Available to You
We suggest contacting your library automation software representative. Your representative will know the ins and outs of your software and can help you navigate features to make the process as seamless as possible.
Look for tools to aid you throughout the project. Tools like
Mitinet can streamline the tasks of changing call numbers, updating fields, and more in your database. Other tools and supplies you should consider are book carts, computers, bookends, boxes, post-it notes, markers, tape, pens, etc.
Likewise, seek out help from within the school and community. Ask volunteers, teachers, students, and parents to help in the process. You can delegate easy tasks or larger project portions. Even a pair of extra hands can make a difference.
