| LIBRARY PRACTICE 2004-5
Welcome to Library Practice! This is an elective class that offers work
experience. The tasks students do in the library at Muir are essential to
the operation of the facility, and students who learn procedures and
discipline are prepared to work in other libraries and institutions. All
students are expected to sign in daily and to record their work activity.
Students may read or do homework when daily assigned work is completed.
Students are graded according to the standards below:
ASSIGNMENT A grade-90% B grade-80% C grade-70% D grade-60%
