Welcome to the Meriwether Online Electronic Card Catalog System of the Rockford Public Schools.
These basic lessons are designed to introduce the staff of the Rockford School System to the different ways this online electronic card catalog can be searched for materials in all of our district libraries. Students, staff, parents, or any interested party can access this catalog any where from any computer with an Internet connection.
The Meriwether website address is: lms.rps205.com. By entering this website address on the address line of your Internet browser, Meriwether can be accessed at any time on any day.
Please
note: As
you view a lesson it may be helpful to have a second computer session open
to the electronic catalog. That way the video lesson can be paused at certain
points and the procedure can be practiced on the actual electronic catalog.
