I have been assigned the task of setting up the library for our new school. The school will be in its 2nd year, while I will be a first year librarian. I need pointers on how to go about it. Any suggestions, ideas etc.. will be welcome.
thank you very much in advance.

Wow! What fun! Hope you have worked in a library before!
1- rough out your budget, what are the curruculum requirements? Are you responsible for maintaining a collection for classroom teachers? Stock up on every database, streaming media, and DVD they need. Then add popular fiction to get kids reading.
2-decide on an automation system quick and work with their rep. I like Follett but there are others. Get your software and hardware set up.
3- Develop your policies and configure your software.
4 WORK WORK WORK.
Best of luck!
