Hi Susan,

This is my take on it:

Procedure for when PB book kits are returned short:

1.  Media Para on the borrower end contacts the teacher who borrowed the kit and asks them to look for the books that are missing.  You may have to give them a few more days to locate the missing books.

2.  When you decided that you have lost books, send the book kit back with a note in the kit informing the library that the book kit has missing or damaged books.

3.  When the kit is returned – inventory the contents - The library that owns the kit will need to change the record in the catalog to correct the number of books in the kit. (You may also need to weed books that are damaged.)  Then change the label on the kit to reflect the new number of books in a kit. 

4.  If a kit gets really low on books – consider finding another kit with the same title and merging the kits. 

5.  Always notify and work with media specialist on this process.

I contacted Michael Johnson about updating Destiny to 12.5 over spring break. I will let you know if they can schedule it.

On the wiki and the Google standards, I thought we should add a category for collaborating with technology and then we can share what technologies we are sharing with our teachers at different grade levels.
