From YouTube: Genrefying Your Collection - Kati Fink
A
My
name
is
katie
fink.
I
am
the
library
director
here
at
hathaway
brown
school
in
shaker
ohio
and
we
are
a
all-girls
school
with
about
800
students,
so
we
are
smaller,
but
we
have
had
the
opportunity
to
genrify
kind
of
in
thanks
to
the
pandemic.
We
were
forced
to
move
some
of
our
collection
and
it
felt
like
a
perfect
time
to
if
we're
moving
everything
we
might
as
well
reorganize
everything.
A
A
So
about
two
years
ago
now
and
again,
I'm
katie
fink
and
this
picture
of
me.
I
realize
you
can't
see
my
face,
and
this
picture
is
so
good
that
we
are
doing
a
zoom
call
here.
So
you
can
see
who
I
am,
but
this
kind
of
encompasses
what
we
did
last
year.
We
did
a
lot
of
mobile
book
carts
a
lot
of
giving
books
out
in
bags
so
that
our
students
could
still
get
them.
A
Even
though
we
were
in
the
pandemic
and
following
some
covid
rules,
so
we
have
two
cohort
libraries
here
on
campus
that
have
multiple
shelving
locations
across
all
three
of
our
buildings.
So
we
have
a
primary
library
that
serves
our
early
childhood
through
fourth
grade.
We
have
a
juvenile
fiction
collection
that
serves
our
fifth
or
eighth
graders
and
that's
housed
in
the
middle
school.
And
then
we
have
our
upper
school
collection,
which
we
call
the
geysell
library
and
learning
comments
which
shelves
young
adult
fiction
books
as
well
as
non-fiction
for
fifth,
through
twelfth
graders.
A
So
what
is
the
problem?
The
problem
that
we
faced
was
that
our
students
in
the
middle
school
do
not
have
any
set
time
for
library
as
well
as
in
the
upper
school.
Our
library
is
used
as
a
common
space.
There
are
no
classes
that
take
place
in
the
library,
so
students
have
to
use
their
own
free
time
to
come
over
to
the
library
and
pick
out
something
that
they
might
be
interested
in.
The
library
building
itself.
A
Location
is
actually
on
the
opposite
side
of
campus,
from
our
middle
school
students
as
well,
and
for
fifth
sixth,
seventh
and
eighth
graders.
They
have
to
charge
through
the
upper
school
students
to
get
to
our
library,
which,
for
them
can
be
overwhelming.
At
times
we
also
are
limited
in
our
librarian
availability,
so
our
all
of
our
librarians
teach
classes,
not
within
the
library
itself,
but
within
the
classrooms,
and
we
also
have
classroom
responsibilities
like
covering
study
hall
that
we
have
to
schedule
in
between
time.
A
So
we
might
not
be
in
the
library
when
there
are
students
in
the
library,
and
we
also
cover
each
other's
libraries
as
well,
so
I'm
normally
in
the
upper
school
library,
but
I
might
be
down
in
the
primary
school
library
my
co-worker
might
be
in
my
library
or
she
might
be
in
the
middle
school
library
at
any
time.
Although
we
are
specialized
to
upper
school
young,
adult
fiction,
lower
school
juvenile
fiction,
type
backgrounds.
B
A
Thank
you.
So
we
had
this
problem
that
we
had
to
to
solve
and
we
started
out
with
some
goals.
What
did
we
want
to
get
done
and
I
love
the
layout
of
smart
goals
so
having
something
specific,
measurable,
achievable,
relevant
and
time-bound.
So
specifically,
we
wanted
a
collection
that
was
easily
managed
by
our
students.
We
wanted
them
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
independently
find
what
they
were
looking
for
quickly.
A
We
wanted
that
time
to
look
like
about
five
minutes.
Our
students
coming
from
the
middle
school
were
checking
out
of
their
study
halls
and
had
to
come
all
the
way
over
to
our
our
building.
Look
for
the
book
that
they
were
or
find
the
book
that
they
were
looking
for
and
then
make
it
all
the
way
back
to
their
class
within
a
reasonable
amount
of
time.
A
A
A
We
thought
that
genrifying
would
empower
our
patrons
to
discover
new
books
and
genres
that
they
already
are
likely
looking
for
and
enjoy,
and
it
allowed
any
supervising
teachers
that
were
coming
into
the
spaces
to
be
able
to
help
students,
and
that
was
really
really
important,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
volunteers,
a
lot
of
teachers
that
do
come
into
our
space.
That
might
not
know
the
collection,
while
a
librarian
is
out
teaching
their
own
classes.
A
The
materials
that
we
decided
that
we
needed
as
we
went
through
this
process
were
genre
labels.
We
got
those
from
demco.
We
found
that
demco
didn't
have
all
the
genre
labels
that
we
were
looking
to
use.
So
we
did
make
some
custom
labels
and
label
protectors
those
the
labels
tend
to
not
be
as
sticky
as
we
wanted
them
to
be
so
covering
them
with
a
protector
was
important.
A
So
this
was
what
our
timeline
looked
like.
In
winter
of
2019,
we
sent
out
a
survey
to
all
the
students
to
determine
which
genres
that
they
were
looking
for.
This
was
really
important
because
they
would
tend
to
ask:
where
are
your
diary
books?
Where
are
the
books
that
are
going
to
make
me
laugh
out
loud?
That's
what
they
were
looking
for.
They
weren't
necessarily
looking
for
some
of
the
genres
that
us
adults
assumed
that
they
would
be
looking
for.
A
I
had
to
identify
how
the
genres
were
going
to
look
in
our
cohort
library,
software
both
to
staff
and
to
students
who
use
the
opac.
There
had
to
be
a
hierarchy
for
genres.
This
meant
that
if
we
were
only
doing
a
scary
genre,
okay,
well,
what
applies
for
scary?
Do
ghosts
go
into
scary.
Does
you
know
dragons
go
into
scary,
or
is
that
fantasy?
So
we
looked
at
that
hierarchy
as
well,
and
then
we
pulled
all
of
our
juvenile
fiction
books
with
a
report
that
we
created
in
coho.
A
A
A
So
that
is
what
our
timeline
looked
like.
I
will
tell
you
that
I
created
this
before
we
had
any
coveted
restrictions
before
we
were
pulled
out
of
school,
so
I
just
finished
this
I'd
say
maybe
spring
of
2020,
but
all
of
the
books
were
removed
by
this
end
of
summer.
20
excuse
me
by
spring
2021
and
all
of
the
books
were
moved
by
summer,
2021
2020..
A
So
this
is
what
our
survey
looked
like.
We
sent
this
out.
It's
just
a
google
form.
We
allowed
students
to
volunteer
their
answers.
They
were
not
forced
to
answer,
but
if
they
did
fill
out
the
survey
they
were
put
into
a
drawing
for
a
gift
card.
We
have
a
cafe
here
on
campus,
and
so
I
had
some
cafe
gift
cards
that
they
could
receive
if
they
filled
up
survey.
A
I
did
this
because
students
who
are
going
to
visit
the
library
are
going
to
have
an
opinion
students
who
are
maybe
more
reluctant
readers
or
really
don't
care
might
have
an
opinion,
but
it
might
not
be
informed.
So
that's.
This
is
why
this
was
voluntary.
So
out
of
our
almost
300
closer
to
200
middle
school
students,
we
had
about
55
of
them
respond
and,
as
you
can
see,
most
of
them
wanted
a
change,
so
that
blue
section
is
no
change.
We
like
how
the
books
are
organized,
we
can
find
things
easily.
A
A
A
A
We
decided
that
we
were
going
with
adventure,
animal
fantasy,
diaries,
fantasy,
graphic
novels,
historical
fiction,
humor,
mystery
novel
and
verse
historical
fiction
or
his
excuse
me
realistic
fiction,
relationships,
scary
and
supernatural
and
science
fiction,
most
of
the
other
ones.
Just
students
weren't,
looking
for
or
they
could
be
lumped
together
with
another
type
of
genre.
A
A
If
you
see
graphic,
we
put
both
fiction
and
non-fiction
in
this
section,
because
that's
normally
what
our
students
are
looking
for,
they
look
for
graphic
first
before
they
look
for
what
subject
it
is,
and
then
I
just
use
the
the
initials
of
each
of
these
sections
in
best
the
way
that
it
seemed
to
fit
and
make
sense.
So
this
is
something
that
is
obviously
only
seen
by
our
staff.
A
D
A
The
next
thing
that
we
had
to
come
up
with
was
a
hierarchy,
so
this
was
our
hierarchy,
so
we
asked
these
questions.
So
first
of
all
is
the
book
a
graphic
book.
Is
it
set
up
like
a
comic
book?
Is
there
a
does?
The
subject
is
on
the
catalog,
describe
it
as
graphic
or
is
it
classified
as
a
7
4
1.5
in
the
dewey
decimal
system
automatically
that
went
into
our
graphic
genre?
A
A
A
A
Is
it
about
relationships
or
crushes,
or
is
it
realistic
and
the
reason
that
we
went
through
and
made
adventure
and
relationships?
One
of
the
last
was
that
those
were
least
important
to
our
students.
They
really
wanted
to
see
diaries
versus
humorous
those
things
coming
first,
when
they
were
searching.
A
E
A
This
was
really
helpful
to
organizing
all
the
books
very
quickly,
digitally
for
us
to
go
through
and
say:
okay,
we
only
have
about
10
books.
That
might
be
you
know
fantasy,
that's
not
true,
but
it
was
easily
accessible
to
us
to
see
what
genres
would
work
and
which
genres
would
not
work,
and
this
is
the
that's.
The
report
sql
that
we
used.
A
And
this
is
what
it
looked
like,
so
we
would
pull
it
into
excel
and
I
just
filtered
the
reports.
So
I
use
the
filter
function
filter
by
contains-
and
I
would
type
in
what
it
might
contain.
So
if
I
could
type
in
mystery,
it
automatically
went
into
the
mystery
genre
and
I
started
with
that
hierarchy.
So
I
did
start
with
question
number
one.
So
I
would
type
in
graphic
and
I
could
see
okay,
I'm
going
to
pull
all
of
these
out
and
change
their
collection
codes
to
our
graphic
novel
collection.
A
A
So
a
student
can
type
in
what
they're
looking
for,
say
it's
dragons
and
it
will
pull
up
and
show
them
the
results
for
all
the
libraries.
Now
they
can
go
over
to
the
collection
section
and
just
click
on
jf
fantasy
and
they
can
pull
any
book.
That's
in
the
middle
school
collection
for
fantasy,
that
has
dragons
in
it
and
they
can
see
it
right
there.
A
Now.
If
a
student
wanted
to
go
in
and
just
look
at
our
fantasy
collection,
they
could
do
that
as
well.
They
go
to
advanced
search
and
then
collection,
and
they
can
choose
any
of
our
genre
collections
here.
So
they
could
go
to
juvenile
fiction,
fantasy
and
just
search,
and
that
will
pull
all
the
books
that
we
have
in
the
juvenile
fiction.
Fantasy
section.
A
So
when
they
go
into
a
record,
it
shows
them
the
collection
and
they
can
see
where
exactly
that
book
is
or
what
genre
that
book
is,
and
our
students
have
found.
This
really
really
helpful
to
be
able
to
not
only
go
into
the
catalog
and
say
instantly.
Oh,
this
is
a
genre
that
I
might
be
interested
in,
but
they're
able
to
go
to
the
shelf
and
see
all
of
the
books
that
they
might
be
interested
in.
E
A
A
Once
you've
made
a
selection,
it's
time
for
you
to
check
out
the
book
go
over
to
so
I'm
not
gonna
walk
you
through
our
self-checkout
with
the
middle
school
just
right
now,
but
that
is
what
our
collection
looks
like
now.
All
of
the
books
have
labels
on
them
and
they
are
on
those
individual
shelves
within
our
middle
school.
A
I
feel
like
I
went
through
this
very
quickly,
so
I
would
love
to
answer
any
questions.
Have
any
discussion
you
might
have
about
genre.
Finding
your
collection,
I
also
am
available.
If
you
want
to
email
me
or
even
if
you
want
to
just
go
to
our
catalog
and
see
what
we've
done
there
with
our
genres,
I'm
happy
to
answer
anything
that
you
might
be
interested
in
asking
about.
B
Thanks
katie,
that
was
great.
We
did
have
one
question
in
the
youtube
chat
about
availability
of
the
report
in
your
slides
and
we
let
let
them
know
that
we
are
sharing
the
slides
afterwards,
I'm
hoping
to
get
all
the
slides
up
that
I
have
today
at
the
end
of
the
day,
so
check
for
those
tomorrow,
you
should
have
that.
B
If
there
are
other
questions,
feel
free
to
put
those
in
the
chat
in
youtube,
if
there
are
questions
from
the
room,
it
would
be
good
if
you
could
come
up
to
the
computer
at
the
front
of
the
room
and
unmute
that
and
talk
to
us
there.
That
way,
we
can
can
hear
you
and
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
lag
on
the
youtube
chat.
A
So
I
made
the
the
decision
with
my
students
with
that
survey
and
kind
of
just
talking
to
them.
What
what
would
they
look
for?
First
and
the
students
decided
that
they
absolutely
would
look
for
a
diary
first
before
they
would
look
for
a
human
humor
book,
so
if
it
fit
into
that,
I
would
go
back
to
that
hierarchy
that
I
was
talking
about
and
we
literally
went
in
this
order.
So
if
it
was
a
diary
first,
then
they
went
into
the
diary
genre
first.
A
I
have
been
adventuring
into
researching
more
about
doing
it
with
our
nonfiction
because
of
the
way
our
library
is
set
up
right
now
it
would
be
a
huge
project.
It
would
be
a
huge
project
for
us
and
we
only
have
two
librarians
here
and
it
would.
It
would
be
astronomical
at
this
point,
I'm
like
looking
out
my
window
to
see
my
library
right
now
I
would
love
to.
A
I
would
love
to
do
something
with
our
nonfiction
to
make
it
in
a
way
that
is
much
easier
for
our
students
to
search
through
both
visually
and
on
the
opac,
and
it
just
isn't
something
that
we
have
been
able
to
do
yet.
My
next
goal
is
to
actually
genrify
our
young
adult
collection.
So
we
only
did
the
juvenile
fiction
collection
that
our
fifth
through
eighth
graders
have
access
to.
A
B
A
Okay,
yes,
so
our
students
love
humor
books
and
I
specifically
had
to
order
way
more.
I
found
that
that
was
something
that
they
were
constantly
looking
for
constantly
asking
for,
and
we
really
only
had
maybe
25
books
out
of
our
3000
that
fit
into
that
category.
So
that
was
something
that
I
ordered.
I
said
I
was.
I
was
dedicated
to
having
that
be
one
of
our
genres
that
we
highlighted.
A
A
Guardians
of
goulan,
you
know
those
types
of
books,
and
so
they
specifically
wanted
those,
but
we
really
only
had
warrior
books,
so
I
found
that
I
had
to
order
different
types
of
animal
fantasies
than
just
the
one.
You
know
series
I
did
weed
more
from
our
historical
fiction
than
I
expected,
which
I
was
surprised.
We
had
a
ton,
we
had
a
ton.
I
think
I
could
have
my
own
little
library,
actually
pretty
big
library,
all
about
just
like
world
war
ii,
historical
fiction
in
middle
grade.
A
Yeah,
okay,
so
these
were
our
collection
codes
like
I
said
they
were
all
juvenile
fiction,
so
that's
why
they
all
start
with
jf
and
I
went
through
and
decided
that
some
of
them
worked
really
well
and
some
of
them
did
not
like.
I
said
that
historical
fiction,
humor
too
close
together
too
similar
and
scary
and
science
fiction-
are
too
similar.
So
I
highly
recommend
making
these
different.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
And
you
can
go
in
and
add
them
here,
you're
going
to
add
a
new
authorized
value
to
collection
code,
and
you
can
see
all
of
the
collection
codes
that
we
have.
I
have
started
doing
the
ya,
and
so
those
are
in
here
as
well
and
I
can
specify
which
library
it
goes
to
so
right
now.
Our
two
cohort
libraries
are
split
up
between
our
prime
collection
and
our
middle
school
upper
school
collection.
So
these
only
show
up
in
that
middle
school
upper
school
collection
for
cataloging.
A
A
Yeah,
absolutely
so
it
has
already.
I
can
tell
you
that
our
circulation
doubled
in
our
middle
school.
After
implementing
this,
I
do
want
to
dig
into
what
sections
they
really
which
genres
they
were
really
interested
in
and
have
really
taken
from,
but
I
do
know
that
has
doubled
since
we
have
done
this
now.
D
A
So
this
is
actually
what
it
is
set
up
to.
Look
like
this
book
needs
to
be
had
get
a
mylar
cover
on
it,
but
this
is
what
the
spine
of
all
of
our
books
look
like.
So
we
have
the
spine
label
our
collection,
as
well
as
the
collection,
genre
label
here,
and
they
are
all
set
up
this
way
so
they're
all
in
this
order
and
all
different
colors
for
our
labels
as
well.
B
Back
to
the
youtube
chat,
we
did
get
confirmation
that
you
answered
that
other
question.
So
that's
good,
and
then
we
have
a
new
question
from
marcy
asking
when
you
order
new
items
for
your
collection.
Are
you
able
to
determine
from
your
vendors
what
collection?
The
item
will
go
in
or
do
you
have
to
kind
of
review
it
and
decide
after
the
item
arrives,.
A
Most
of
the
time,
it's
pretty
easy
to
tell
from
our
we
order
from
ingram
and
it's
pretty
self-explanatory
when
we
order
what
collection
it
goes
into.
There
are
times
when
I
know
I'm
ordering
a
bunch
of
like
when
I
ordered
all
humor.
I
just
made
sure
that
that
whole
order
was
just
humor.
I
knew
it
was
coming
and
I
had
the
stickers
ready
to
go
for
that
one
oftentimes.
If
I
am
ordering
a
a
mixture
of
books,
I
don't
worry
about
it
until
they
come
in.
A
I
have
to
scan
them
into
our
system
anyway.
So
when
their
record
comes
up,
I
look
at
it.
I
can
figure
out
what
genre
it
goes
in,
based
on
the
subject
headings
within
koha
and
I
add
the
label
and
I
change
the
collection
code
right
then,
and
there
it's
a
pretty
simple
process,
it's
a
little
bit
time
consuming,
but
I'm
doing
the
processing
anyways
of
scanning
into
the
book.
So
it's
really
just
one
more
step.
B
A
We
we
just
use
the
system,
that's
within
koha
already
that
label
creator
option.
So
we've
used
that
if
you're
talking
about
the
labels
that
are
our
genre
labels,
I
ordered
most
of
them
from
demco
and
then
some
of
them.
I
just
did
custom
labels
that
I
ordered
and
those
were
from.
Let
me
pull
up
the
specifics.
A
B
A
Yeah,
it
is
nice
in
that
way,
and
the
other
thing
I
would
say
is
that
we
did
it
specific
to
our
students
and
what
they
were
interested
in
when
I'm
looking
to
do
our
young
adult
collection.
There
are
some
sections
that
I'm
some
genres
that
we
did
in
the
middle
school
that
we
would
not
do
in
the
upper
school
just
because
they're
the
students
aren't
interested
in
it.
So
when
we
sent
the
survey
to
our
upper
school
students
just
recently,
they're
still
sending
it
back
in,
but
they
aren't
looking
for
things
like
diaries.
A
B
A
So
I
actually
considered
diary
of
a
wimpy
kid.
Our
students
actually
look
for
that
in
graphic
novels,
that's
always
where
they
would
end
up
going.
They
were
like
wait,
it's
drawn.
Why
isn't
it
and
you
know
graphic
novels,
so
we
actually
moved
all
of
our
dire
wimpy,
kids
or
dork
diaries
into
that
section.
First
and
then
diaries
really
is
going
to
be
anything.
That's
like
dear
america
or
anything
that
has
a
time
stamp
or
entries
type
writing
as
well
as
even
some
of
our.
