Last Week ….
Last week we looked at how Fiction books are organised and arranged on our library shelves.
If I was looking for Matilda by Roald Dahl what would the spine label look like?
Where would I find it on our shelves?

This Week . . .
Today we are going to look at our Library Catalogue .
What does a catalogue do? Do you know of other ways we use a "catalogue" (Shopping catalogues etc)
When we need to find out information we can use a catalogue.
Just because I know the name of a book, it doesn't mean I know where to find it on the shelves in the library.
What would you do to find "Ruby Rosemount and the Doomsday Curse" ?
Do you know where it is on the shelf? (Why or why not)
What would be helpful to know so that you could locate it?
What if you knew the author but when you went to the shelf it wasn't there? What could that mean?
What information would be very useful BEFORE I go and look on the shelf for a book?

Getting to Oliver
Oliver is the name of the cataloguing system that we use at OLR. Every Catholic school in our diocese uses the same system. In fact, all libraries have a catalogue of one type or another to help us search for books.
