Comments from the Site Supervisor regarding the intern’s completion and assessment of the objective: Lori really got her feet wet and learned a lot about the collection through the inventory process. She learned to scan the materials, check for the correct title, barcode and call number of each item. While scanning, she also learned to look for books that needed to be weeded or replaced. When the process was completed, Lori was able to view the age of collection and other important statistics of the collection that keeps the Media Center up to date and functioning properly.
