A
Guide for Library Paraprofessionals
Presenters: Phillip Johnson and Katy Paterson


These video lessons are designed as a resource for library paraprofessionals of the Rockford Public Schools. They are not intended as a substitute for direct instruction by your professional librarian.

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.
