INSTALLING
A NEW SCHOOL
LIBRARIAN




THE NEW SchoolLibrarian
VERSION 2001™

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CONGRATULATIONS!

You have been very fortunate in obtaining this genuine information professional. If used with care, and in accordance with these Operating Instructions, your new SchoolLibrarian2001™ will give many years of exemplary service. Improper use or neglect will void your warranty on SchoolLibrarian2001™.


UNPACKING

Your new SchoolLibrarian2001™ has left our care packaged with the latest technological skills, an awareness of current issues, managerial techniques to maintain your current school library (whilst continuing development and upgrading), the ability to contribute to teaching and learning, and a high level of commitment to the application of best practice.

Please do not disgard this wrapping. In addition to providing buffering in transport, this packaging is necessary for the operation of your new SchoolLibrarian2001™.


OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This unit is designed to function within a normal range of temperature and humidity conditions. Excessive heat, cold or moisture will prevent optimum operation.

Locate SchoolLibrarian2001™ in a position that allows maximum visibility. Although the unit will function as a "stand-alone", maximum benefits are gained from networking to other school personnel.

The unit will automatically generate input into multiple areas of school operation. Whilst the feedback provided by the unit may be ignored, this may prove detrimental to the educational output of the school.


PLUG-INS

SchoolLibrarian2001™ has been equipped to operate with minimal support. It is recommended that you consider the following third party additions, for maximum enhancement of the quality of your school library programs:

  • AdministrativeCommitment2001™
  • ClericalSupport2001™
  • BudgetAllocation2001™
  • FlexibleScheduling2001™
  • ProfessionalDevelopment2001™

KNOWN ISSUES

Please ensure that SchoolLibrarian2001™ does not come into contact with SchoolBoardCirca1960, as conflict will arise.

SchoolLibrarian2001™ is not compatable with either ClassroomTeacher c.1970 or SchoolPrincipalC1940 to C1980. Upgrades are available for both ClassroomTeacher and SchoolPrincipal in print journals, or Internet downloads, although installation of these upgrades may prove difficult. SchoolLibrarian2001™ can undertake these upgrades, but this will slow down operating speeds in core functions.


WARRANTY

WARNING! NEVER overload your SchoolLibrarian V. 2001™. This will result in burnout, and void this warranty. As many satisfied customers have noticed, the SchoolLibrarian2001™ is capable of exemplary operation in many areas outside its core functions. Although very robust, SchoolLibrarian2001™ is, after all, only human.
