Printing SCM Module Book Lists for Easy Reference?

I have a notebook to compile all of my "plans" and "booklists" and such. I've previously printed each module from the curriculum guide, but I was wondering if there is a more user friendly way to print these lists. For example, if I want to print the Bible, History, Geography Module 1 book and resource list, I would love for it to be like this:

TITLE AUTHOR ISBN PUBLISHER SUBJECT GRADE LEVEL

This way I could print the list and have it with my Mommy Planning book and put a check mark by those that I collect.

Thoughts? I wanted to check before I reinvent the wheel and type it all up.

Thanks,

Christie

I would also like to know if there is a printable book list for the extra resources in the Modules. What I would love is a print-out that has all Christie wanted, plus what lesson(s) those resources are used for. That way, I wouldn't have to flip page after page to find out when I need to get certain resources. I could simply hang that list up and have an easy reference.

Is there something like this? Could there eventually be something like this?

Thanks,

Lindsey

Those are great ideas, ladies. I'm not aware of anything like that already in existence, but I will certainly put those ideas on my "list."

OK - I typed up Module 4 Bible, History & Geography and saved as a pdf - click the link to see it

It prints funny though, all on one page and I've not figured that out yet, but I'll work on it this week and maybe Doug will have a tip for me.

Let me know your thoughts and if you're interested, I'll share as I get them done.

Christie,

I remember a while back you had put some other booklists on boxnet. Are those still there? I started the other day putting together my lists from HIFI, AO and here all on Excel. OH my goodness, what a lot of work!! YIKES!

Would you be willing to share your lists again? Pretty please??

Blessings,

Carrie

Carrie, I'll work on a post with all of my lists in one place later today.

No one print the above as it's in progress. I need to add a couple of notes & figure out the formatting/printing problem. It's here for feedback on how to improve it. For ex. - portrait w/ small notes area & fewer pages or landscape w/ larger notes area & more pages? Other thoughts?

I know this isn't exactly what you want, but it may help. We've now added tags to the bookfinder identifying most of the resources used in the curriculum guide. You'll see the tags listed on the main bookfinder page. If you click on them it will show you all of those resources. Here's an example for history module 1:

There is still more we want to do along these lines but this should be a good start.

Christie, I think the reason your list prints funny is because it's built as one huge page with no page breaks. What software are you typing it in?

Doug or Sonya, is there a way of having a See All buttton, when you open say history books for 11th and 12th grade, so that you can avoid having to keep clicking the new pages in case you want to print them? Hope you know what I mean. Linda

Doug, I used iWork numbers and then exported as a pdf. When printed from numbers it's 3 pages w/ headers on each page, but somehow that is lost in the pdf. I don't know how to put page breaks in a numbers or pdf document.

I like the view you get from clicking the module in the bookfinder, it's a great resource, but I like a printed list that I can check off what I've collected, too.

Oh, I like the see all function idea that Linda mentioned, too!

Doug or Sonya, I am puahing this back up, I wonder if you are planning a see all button as I mentioned in my earlier question? Thanks Linda

Christie,

Oh my goodness, what a lot of work! It's a great list though. Want to make one for Module 1??

Doug/Christie/Sonya,

Is there any way that there could be a list like Christie's, but that also had a column for the lesson numbers that each resource is for? For example, column 1 would be "Author", column 2 would be "Grade", column 3 "Book Title", column 4 would be "Subject" and column 5 would be "Lesson(s) #"

So it might look like this:

Jones, Ruth Fodsick Grade 1 Boy of the Pyramids History, Leisure Reading Lessons 10-15

(**I don't actually have my Module 1 book out right now to see which lessons require the reading of BOTP, but you get the idea.)

Lindsey,

I was thinking this info could go in the notes, if someone wanted to put it in, but since I buy all of my resources, it doesn't seem necessary for me, however, I could see it being useful for those who use the library for their books.

I would be happy to share the original file and you could type it in.

I will be working on all of the modules (not just history) as I get time.

Linda, As we've been working through tagging all of these resources I was thinking the same thing about a "see all" button. I'm checking to see what kind of effort it would take to add that.

Christie, You can also print to a PDF instead of exporting the file. That way it would pick up the pagination.
