Title: Welcome to the Seaford Middle School Media Center

Welcome to the Seaford Middle School Media Center
  • Biography

2
What is a Biography
  • It is an account of a person's life written,
    composed, or produced by another.
  • Ex. a film biography of Martin Luther King
  • Ex. an oral biography of your grandfather
  • Ex. a written biography on Michael Jordan

3
Where can I find them?
  • All biographies are non-fiction and are placed in
    a library in their own section.
  • Books with a call number of 921 are on
    individuals.
  • Books with a call number of 920 are on groups of
    people.

4
O.K., so I found where call number 921 is, now
what?
  • You can look for the book using the first three
    letters of the persons last name.
  • For example if you want an individual biography
  • Martin Luther King would have a
  • call number of 921 KIN
  • Michael Jordan would have a
  • call number of 921 JOR

5
Why would I want to look at a book that covers a
group of people?
  • This may be helpful if the person is part of a
    group.
  • For instance you may want to look at a book on
    Civil Rights Leaders to read about Martin
    Luther King.

6
Where would I find these books?
  • You would need to use the OPAC (Online Patron
    Access Catalog) located on each computer.
  • When you do your search and retrieve your list,
    look for books with a call number of 920 or 921.
  • Remember that 921 contains Individual Bios
  • Remember that 920 contains Group Bios

7
OPAC for SMS
  • Go to Internet Explorer
  • The home page should be the Seaford Middle
    School PowerPortal.
  • http//www.seaford.k12.de.us/sms/DEFAULT.HTM
  • You should see this home page on any computer in
    the media center. For this to work at your home
    you would need to put this address in you
    favorites

8
Now that you are on the SMS home page
  • Go to the right hand side of the page
  • click on card catalog
  • click on search catalog
  • type in your search term hit enter
  • Click on locations to see if the item is
    In, Out or Lost.
  • At the bottom center of the page youll see that
    you may have more than one page of
  • books from which to
    choose.
  • Itll look something like this 1 - 2 - 3 - 4

9
Congratulations!!
  • Now, use the OPAC to look up the books you need.
  • Write down the call numbers.
  • ex. 921 Kin, 920 Lid
  • The list will tell you if the book is
  • In, Out or Lost.
  • Wait for directions to go and find your books.
  • Remember only those books marked as In will be
    on the shelf.
