Book Arrangement- AR vs Dewey

by Marty

Jan 10, 2011

Just wanted to get some thoughts on arrangement of library books. In the past I had books arranged by AR book level on the shelves at my PK-4 campus, and had a great circulation of books and good participation in the AR program.

This year I am at a 5/6 grade campus where all books are arranged by dewey. I have no problem with this except ...See More

the book level was written on the dot... I did NOT color code by level. Older students reading on a lower level were not easily recognized or embarrassed by the color of their label.

I have just undertaken the process of recertification for National Board Libary Media and my large local support group from nine years ago has evaporated. Is anyone out there who is also going through the process interested in talking it over?

Kindles in Library

by RL

Jan 16, 2011

How do you use Kindles in your library? Do your students check them out and take them home? How do you manage them?

I am trying to move my traditional library to a more technology focused library and am unsure of how to hold the students accountable while providing the freedom they need to move forward. I know that my vision for the libra...See More

Books or bytes

by Helen Fitz

Jan 25, 2011

I am interested in knowing how/if school media center budgets have changed from purchasing print materials to purchasing technology--computers, data bases, etc. Also, if there has been a significant change, has the cut back in purchasing print materials been more in nonfiction, or evenly between nonfiction and fiction.

Mitch Ward We are purchasing more online databases, about the same fiction, and less non-fiction. You got it right.

book reviews for students

by Bob Bradley

Feb 1, 2011

Does anyone have ideas for where students can read short summaries of books? I just discovered a website, slimekids.com, that shows some interesting sites (and also has many other resources for school librarians), but I was curious about where else students can go to read reviews that are written for them more than for parents or teachers.

Kim What about having students in your school read and write reviews of books and post them on your library's or school's website? Then, not only are they reading and writing, but are getting opinions of people they know, trust, and who are from a similar background and my have similar opinions/tastes.

Perfect animated cartoon for lazy students

by Randall

Feb 15, 2011

There is a new nine minute animated motivational cartoon, with original music, being used by teachers everywhere. "Your House of Education" touches on that simple yet profound question, "Where will you live?"(You are building it now!) It is turning on lights in the minds of students all over the world. They love it!
