A district librarian needs to catalog and manage STEAM materials across multiple schools but lacks expertise in their current library software (Follett) and guidance on setting up an accessible, inter-district checkout system.
The librarian lacks sufficient skill with Follett to efficiently catalog STEAM materials and set up a system for teacher access and inter-district checkouts, indicating the software may be complex or inadequately documented for this specific use case.
Workarounds Described
- Manually barcoding each STEAM item
- Entering items into regular library catalog instead of dedicated system
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated barcode generation and bulk cataloging for STEAM materials
- Dedicated platform for multi-school resource sharing with teacher self-service
