The Professional Development Office is pleased to offer all staff an opportunity to request resources from the Professional Development library. We have many resources to choose from with a wide range of topics. We are very excited to have a library dedicated for staff to access these resources.

Here are the steps to follow for requesting resources from the Professional Development Library: 

1. Please go to http://sni.scsd.opalsinfo.net
    
2. Click on SEARCH (upper left corner next to HOME) YOU DO NOT NEED TO LOG IN
    
3. A drop down menu will appear. Click on Standard. Please enter your search terms into the "Keyword" box. You can search by title, author, subject, etc.
    
4. This will bring up a list of titles for you to choose from. Click on the title for information regarding the resource. The Bar Code will then be visible on the right hand side of the screen in box labeled Material Type. Please note the Call Number is NOT the Bar Code. If you see more than one Bar Code, there are multiple copies of the resource.
    
5. If you want to reserve a resource you will need the Bar Code (see number 4 above).
    
6. Important Step: The Bar Code and title should then be sent to Kee Howles via email at howlesk@schenectady.k12.ny.us
    
7. Important Step: Please include your name and building in the email. Resources will be sent inter school mail to you as soon as possible.
    
8. You will receive an email notification if the resource is not returned within a month. You can choose to renew the resource if it is needed longer than one month.
