**Renaissance Place times out, so Beverly looks up as many books at one time as she has time for to see if they are AR books and pencils in the reading level and points inside the back or front cover along with LG, MG or UG. Then when she has 30 books, she goes on to the next step. (There are 30 labels per sheet.)

1) In Workflows, choose Modify Title and then scan the item barcode. 2) Click on the Bibliographic tab (or reset Bibliographic view as default). 3) Look for the 526 field. If the 526 field is there, look it over to make sure it is in the correct format, make any changes necessary. 4) If 526 is not there:
 * a. create a space in the record for the Accelerated Reader information by clicking on the tag number above where 526 should be; and from the top of the window, click on the icon for "add a field after the current one" OR right click and add a field.
 * Type 526 in the first field, tab 0 tab
 * Type Accelerated Reader AR|b|c|d
 * Use the copy/paste function (Ctrl C, Ctrl V to add this in subsequent records.)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Enter the grade designation next to |b
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Enter the reading level next to |c
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Enter the point value next to |d
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Do not punctuate after the entry.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Save the entry.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">5) Create a label to place in the book.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Use Avery 5160 labels, the template already has the school name and the place to type in the level and points. Do NOT use "enter" or it will change placement...just use the mouse to select where you need to type.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Under AR Points: type the title of the book.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">for elementary place the label in the upper right inside the BACK cover
 * <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">for middle school place the label in the upper right FRONT first page or title page

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Example of AR Label: <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Keystone Middle School <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">AR Level: 5.3 <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">AR Points: 16.0 <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Hunger Games

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">6) Any time you modify a record, you need to add our "signature" to the 040 field. Click in the field and add |dOLgKLS. If there is no 040 tag, add it and omit the |d when you type in our "signature."
