Sign
Up for Your Class to Use the Library:
Locate the date on the calendar in
Paul's office that you want to bring your class.
If
there is one name (or no names) on the calendar for that day,
you may sign up. The library can accommodate two classes
per block (three if one of the classes does not need to use
the internet---ask Paul before you sign up if yours is the third
class).
Complete
a Class Visit Planning Form and leave it on Paul's desk.
If
you need for Paul to give your class an orientation, or any
other type of introduction, please talk to Paul or any of the
library staff.
Library
Rules that Teachers Need to Know:
If you have to have a sub on a library
day, please do not send the sub to the library
with your students. Find something else for them to do.
Please
do not allow your students to eat or drink while they are in
the library.
Make
assignments that students can use print as well as internet
resources. We do not have enough computers for you to
assign projects that will require your students to spend a significant
amount of time on the library computers.
Please
do not allow your students to congregate by the front door to
wait for the bell. Keep them at their tables until the
bell rings. The area by the circulation desk needs to
be kept open for students who need to check out books, pay fines,
or pay for prints.
Library
Databases:
The library pays for several databases
for teacher and student use (see Online
Resources.) They are accessible from the library computers
or from your home computer with passwords. The passwords
are available to faculty and students at the circulation desk--just
ask.
