    <Text>I think workshops and being a conduit for advice we can't give (haircutting, legal, taxes, etc.) is fine, but it also feels like public libraries are trying to do everything they can possibly do, and that it dilutes the brand a bit.   (But on the flip side, I recognize public libraries are one of the only places to get help with anything...)</Text>

    <Text>Specifically in regards to computer skils, I don't think we can do a good job because the range of possible skills we could teach is too broad.   So we end up teaching Word 101 by default, which helps but gives those who know more (and need more advanced help) nowhere to go for it.  </Text>

    <Text>I totally agree that public libraries are diluting their brand, and hence spreading the staff too thin.  Add in broad understaffing and underfuding issues and you get a terrible equation: More responsibilities+less staff+less pay=disgruntled librarians who find greener pastures=a public that doesn't get what they need.</Text>

    <Text>I actually suggested that, but that wasn't good enough.  They wanted to: have the parent sign-off on the kid, have me call the parent to vet their signature, have the kid pick up a ticket to the tournament, and then on the day of the tournament allow ONLY ticket holders into the room.  This multi-step process seemed to invite controversy: "Hey, that must be a little intense game they're playing if they're running it like a speakeasy."  I guess my real question is "How can I get the admins to let the signature and the sig alone be okay?"</Text>

    <Text>Fashion Kitty is something I haven't read yet.  Loved Knights of the Lunch Table (though my daughter won't let me near the second one).  Personally find the Capstone books too bland, though I understand they're finding an audience -- got an earful after I offered my opinion to some school librarians (though I suspect they would have defended them in any case, having spent $30+ for each hardcover).  </Text>

    <Text>I often recommend the Star Wars: A New Hope manga (4 vols) to folks who hate manga, but hadn't thought about it. &lt;br&gt;  Not sure if the Star Trek books would count for purists (they weren't written in Japan), but I'm adding them to my list.  </Text>

    <Text>I agree with that in a way, but it's not helpful.  I think we need to agree on success measures (even if it's a certain number of anecdotes like the ones you note above) before we implement a program. Not having an agreed measure of success means programs can (perhaps rightly) be cancelled at the whim of a manager or planner, whereas if we agree on success measures, I think we have ammo to advocate for what's appropriate for us (particulary if those success measure were agreed on by administrators and managers with decision making authority).  </Text>

    <Text>Did you mean the modules here? http://shapingoutcomes.com/course/index.htm  

I like the thought, too, but I think two crucial components would be agreement on the outcome measurement with those in authority and also figuring out how much per attendee "success" should reasonably cost, given the desired outcome.</Text>

    <Text>I totally agree with you.  My admins' issues were that when an item is on the shelf we're being neutral about, allowing the patron to make a conscious decision to check it out, whereas when we have a program we're actually supporting and promoting the material...or something like that.  Thanks for the reference and I'll keep looking.</Text>

    <Text>Yes, and I just noticed the original questioner is likely someone who wanted a generic answer ;).  Certainly the first approach might be to ask what they normally like reading and start from there.

I know there's some "Top 100 manga" type books, it would be nice to get some reviews, might be a good place to start.  I know my wife has some sites she goes to for manga reviews, can't remember the at the moment.

I would guess most library collections of manga in the US are geared towards young adult.

    <Text>I think the gist of this question is there is a genre of manga that has become identified with the medium, and Gene lists three good examples. Lots of supernatural stuff, martial arts, and merchandising. I think he's asking for alternative examples of the medium.</Text>

    <Text>This question is generating lots of broad answers, and that makes me think it doesn't really have a specific answer. Maybe you can clarify what you're asking, or ask how different systems decide how to budget outreach?</Text>

    <Text>Agree with you on ed classes -- they help you with planning and with understanding teachers (and figureing out how you can fit yourself into a curriculum). I doubt YA lit would help much though -- more apt to kill your love of reading than feed it, based on my experience.</Text>

    <Text>I find that I disagree with your fist statement.  I think that everything else I did (hotel desk clerk, fixing cars, teaching abraod, learning a foreign language, writing) made me a better librarian because it allowed me to bring skills into the library that no one else had.  Agree with you on the YA reading and the tech completely.  </Text>

    <Text>I did want a generic answer.  I find that I like manga that is not like those examples I've listed, and I wonder what else is out there.

I agree with you that manga is a form of communication.  Maybe I should have said I want something that's more like mainstream fiction, that doesn't have busy (blurry) fight scenes or androgynous characters I can't make sense of, that has clean layouts and clear storytelling like Yotsuba, Solanin, or Emma.</Text>

    <Text>I can see the logic of parental permission, merely the cover the collective backside of the Library.  I can even understand not allowing the kid to participate if they forge a signature, sense they didn't follow policy.  If I were the one in charge, however, I'd say just open the door and let who comes in come in.  It's not like we're playing the terrorist level from Modern Warfare 2.</Text>

    <Text>I agree with most being overly broad. If it is a smaller library system, it's a bit easier to get more specific. In larger county systems, it gets more difficult as each community may have very different needs. Mine was very specific and we had a monthly report on our progress with the plan. Most libraries don't tend to do that.</Text>

    <Text>Great Comments Emily. Bringing a librarian to the board has worked for me in the past. You get a first hand perspective. Sometimes board members are political influential and can help the library, but may not be that active in what the library is actually doing. Others will use the library and provide feedback, yet others will just use your board to get on bigger boards. </Text>

I own the yellow ones but black may fit your gameroom better!
There as comfortable as a plastic chair could be, and unlike many other Ikea products, they seem to hold up very well.

    <Text>Not sure if that wsa directed at my question or one of the other answers, but I do think libraries should offer programming.

    <Text>Absolutely. And that is why I asked the question. How do you measure buzz?  It is measurable? But very often that is what we are trying to create and is a very difficult thing to determine. Some programs (booktalks for example) are measurable. If the books you talk get checked out it is successful. Some are not measurable at the time or until you see that increase in a certain area.</Text>

    <Text>I'll try Eyeshield 21.  I like to read all kinds of stories (helpful, I know :) ), but I specifically wanted to focus on manga with this stype of look.   I've read Monster (pretty good) and I'm enjoying Urasawa's Pluto. I've read Oh My Goddess! but it's not for me. I don't tend to like the androgynous character design in most shojo because I find it's too easy to confuse characters -- does They Were 11 use this type of art?</Text>

    <Text>Unfortunately, I really don't have the funding, so I have to be able to do it myself. I don't think finding the funding would be such a big deal, if I was not having to redo the majority of our library.  

However, I will definitely add it to my wish list for the future.  As it sounds like a great resource and time saver.  

Thank you for your recommendation.</Text>

    <Text>We are moving to National Library of Medicine.  My biggest issue is that the previous cataloging was sort of made up and has no consistency within a subsection.  To facilitate find-ability for my users, the library really needs to have at least basic cataloging, so that our ILS at least has the main subjects for all of our items.   Though I sort of feel, that since I have to re-catalog anyway it makes sense to go ahead and put in full cataloging, incase the more complete record is needed in our future.  </Text>

    <Text>They Were 11 has somewhat androgynous art, but the characters are very easy to tell apart since they're all from different planets. Unfortunately, most of the things I can recommend simply for realistic art are rated "M" for graphic violence, like Blade of the Immortal and Lone Wolf and Cub. I think, though, that you might enjoy Sanctuary, which shares an artist with Crying Freeman. It's the story of two young men who decide to change the world, so one goes into politics and the other joins the mob. Occasional graphic sex and violence - all in a day's work. </Text>

    <Text>Older titles, like "Fist of the North Star", or "Sprit of Wonder", sometimes have a more American-comic look, too. Have you read anything from CLAMP? Their style is realistic, with simplfied faces - if that style's OK, you could also try Shadow Star. Finally, I think I would be remiss if I didn't point you toward the ecological epic "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" (the manga), from the acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki. He's known for his detail-rich environments and tight storytelling.</Text>

    <Text>Loved Azumanga Daioh, too, and Planetes is one of my favorites.   (Also loved Love Roma, which no one has come up with yet).  Kurosagi Corpse Delivery service was okay, but not to my taste -- I prefer Dark Horse's covers to the art inside.   And I've read a volume of 20th Century Boys and feel like I'm hooked.   
Will try Oishinbo (haven't read one yet) and Sexy Voice and Robo (whcih I remember seeing but didn't pick up).  Thanks!</Text>

    <Text>Oh, yes - Love Roma's a great story. No argument here on that.

A couple of others you might like:
-Ohikkoshi: by the creator of Blade of the Immortal. It's a one-volume story about life happening to twentysomethings in modern Japan.
-Black Lagoon: A story about modern-day privateers in Southeast Asia. I think someone described it as the perfect basis for a Spike TV series.
-You might also want to try the website www.sigikki.com - it's a free online manga anthology from Viz aimed at older readers.</Text>

    <Text>Hear, hear! FAR better to have an empty shelf than a shelf full of outdated and inaccurate information. Of course, convincing your Principal or faculty of that fact may be more difficult, but that also provides an opportunity to talk about the need for ongoing materials budget and the value of inter-library loan (which only works if all participants are maintaining their collections).</Text>

    <Text>Kudos to you for being brave enough to tackle what your predecessors didn't. 

One way to minimize the shock of suddenly empty shelves is to take full advantage of the space for some in-stack merchandising. If you don't already have book easels, get some from your favorite library supply company and put them at the end of each shelf that has space. Train your student volunteers (or whomever you have to help you) to "fill the holes" with books THEY think look interesting -- now you have students marketing to students, which should push your circ up even further.

Good luck!</Text>

I've actually had a special needs patron ask me if he could visit my house (we went to the same high school and he wanted to look at pictures), and I forgot how I answered it, but it just caught me off-guard.  You mentioned that sometimes the mentors slack off.  Do you do anything when they do slack off?  Do you have some kind of system in place to hold them accountable?</Text>

    <Text>Honestly, I usually just talk to them again.  They aren't bad people, they are just so used to it they don't realize they need to be a bit more pro-active.  And, of course, being in customer service, its easier to talk to them repeatedly then to really be firm with them and make them comply.  But in the end, it would depend on the level of disruption in your library.</Text>

    <Text>That's a good tip. Getting that non-circulated list is the best start. It gets tricky in non-fiction since it may not have circulated, but do you still keep it because of the content? Fiction is a bit easier since it is a bit more ephemeral. </Text>

    <Text>I agree that programming can go overboard, but re: "we're not the YMCA or a social organization" -- in small towns, we pretty much are. The public library is about the only game in town. Which is wh I go back to the need to fit your mission and your community, including knowing where there's a need and where there's duplication of services.</Text>

    <Text>This sort of approach generally fails w/pushy vendors, who have already proven their tenacity by earning the reputation of "pushy". All you've done is 1) encouraged them to bother you with another phone call, albeit at a later date; and 2) invited them add more junk mail to the planet. 

Much better to be direct &amp; honest. If they call back often enough that you recognize them, politely ask that the library be removed from their calling list. Inevitably, you'll get back on the list, since they buy contact lists, but with the phone solicitation laws, that should stop them for at least a year.</Text>

    <Text>I agree that staff are a great resource, but I would not ask them to take a message if I know I'm not interested. That's a waste of everyone's time, especially when that pushy vendor calls back repeatedly because you never intend to return his/her calls. Better to break the news that you are uninterested -- or if you really are busy, have staff break the news. I'm all about saving my time and my staff's time.</Text>

    <Text>I think shelving by series is most helpful to the patron, whether it's juvenile or adult, book or media. Color-coded dots work well to keep series of a given author together, with numbers on the dots if there is an obvious order to the books (i.e. the Lonesome Dove stories). The patrons love it. We keep the series interfiled with everything else, but if we had the space I would advocate for a separate area for juv. series to better handle those w/multiple authors. Re: media, we also keep movies and their sequels together according to title of 1st film, if there's no overall series title. </Text>

    <Text>This makes the most sense to me, baesd on libraries I visit (particularly when I visit with my daughter, a 2nd grader).  But there are often arbitrary decisions made on what is and isn't  in the series section, and the series section seems to be just the cheaper, quicker to go out of print paperback series. Is your answer just for series with multiple authors? </Text>

    <Text>I don't know about your catalog, but if I click on one tag in the tag cloud in mine (for an individual record--see http://wmars.cwmars.org/search~/), I can adjust the search in the Tag Browser's search box. Just put a comma between tags to generate a new search in that pop-up window. It's not exactly in the catalog, but you don't have to log into LibraryThing either. The only other problem is that if you click on a title generated by this method, it doesn't always go to a "real" record in the catalog because it is searching by ISN. It's definitely something that could stand some tweaking.</Text>

    <Text>Oh man! I'd forgotten the whole "pretend we're not discarding books" gambit. At my very first small town library I found my clerk packing discards carefully into TWO paper bags, each rolled, stapled, and taped around the circumference. When asked, she said she was getting them ready to take out. Apparently my predecessor had been criticized in the same manner as your coworker and her response was to go into the alley under the cover of darkness and bury the discards at the bottom of the dumpster.</Text>

    <Text>I specify that items can't be expired or dented or opened - I even made a good deal for a couple of students who owe $75+ that each item they bring in will be worth $3 instead of just $1. I didn't place a limit on how much they can donate/pay off this way. I would prefer that they totally clear their fines no matter how much. (Although I do not allow them to pay anything but overdues this way.)</Text>

    <Text>At the library where I was volunteer coordinator, we didn't want to establish a connection between doing such work and the fines, because we were worried about the quality of the work for fine forgivness.  We did, however, give volunteers who worked for us for more than a brief period vouchers to cover hold fees (our library charged 50 cents per hold).</Text>

    <Text>This is an interesting question. It might be a better use of this site if you edit your question to produce more specific answers that could be voted on. For instance, rather than asking whether it's valuable (which will get a million testimonials) ask for specific examples of situations that have required such skills, then people who have had the same experience can vote that situation up.</Text>

    <Text>This is an excellent list. 

I know it's out of fashion, but also include looking for a program that requires, or at least OFFERS, a comprehensive cataloging course. I think cataloging is to LIS what algebra is to high school -- even if you never need to or want to catalog again, the skills you learn translate into a better understanding of how most collections are organized and, therefore, better reference skills.</Text>

    <Text>I agree. You've shown due diligence. When we get stray items, we check "the usual places" for any kind of property stamp. If there's an address or other means of quickly and easily determining the owner, we send it back -- even mailing it at our cost, if that's the only choice. If there's no address or phone number in the item, we set it aside for a couple of months to see if anyone claims it (as in, "We winter in Florida and I think I may have returned a book from there at this library by mistake"), then treat it as we would a donation.</Text>

    <Text>A minor comment - on this site it doesn't make sense to say things like "I agree with both previous answers" - for one thing, answers move around based on their voting, so it's impossible to tell which ones you're referring to.

    <Text>I'm not sure about syncing; I know that you can export your collection from one and import it to the other. They are definitely distinct accounts. I went with Shelfari initially because I have many more books than LT would let me catalog for free. And someday maybe I'll get all my home collection entered...totally :)</Text>

    <Text>But is that what they really want? My experience is that's what they ask for; but when you drill down they don't want a list of 4,000 DVDs! What most of them are looking for is help to find and choose a title. [Well, yes, I have had the odd trainspotter who did actually want a complete list of every DVD the library held].
So a list of "new DVDs" or "DVDs by topic" answers their need (if not their actual question) much better.
But I do agree that "Hot Topic" lists on the catalogue/website are a great service.</Text>

    <Text>as far as the email addresses go, I meant that they don't have official, school-provided email addresses. And I know of at least a couple students who claim that they don't have email addresses, period, because their parents won't allow it. I also know of some who aren't allowed cell phones; not sure how much overlap there is between these two groups.

You're right in that contacting them directly is a better protection of their right to privacy. I try to minimize the impact of this by not telling the teacher which book they have on hold, just that "their book" is in. </Text>

    <Text>Knowing very little about your school, it seems to me that the LA teachers are the perfect people to pass the messages. Perhaps there needs to be more guidance from the department that this is an important part of the curriculum and should be done promptly. (I believe using the library should be part of the curriculum.) Although, since you haven't been at the school very long, I can understand this could be difficult. Perhaps you can befriend one of the teachers and ask for suggestions.</Text>

    <Text>This sounds a lot like me.  I majored in sports medicine and minored in athletic training and psychology.  I worked at the local public library as a page then a clerk through high school and college, then as a paraprofessional through grad school.  I had no aspirations of being a librarian as a kid, and it was very strange to meet people who could actually say "I want to be a librarian when I grow up."  I agree with all of the posts I've seen so far - study something that interests you.  It will make college more enjoyable on the whole and most likely will not affect your graduate studies.</Text>

Before you read any further, please let me warn you that to be a full-fledged librarian you have to earn a Master's in Library Science; that's another 2-3 years of school after college.  Keep that in mind.</Text>

    <Text>Placing the holds is actually done through our OPAC; no form is filled out. I could send a SMS message from my PC, but they're required to have their phones off in school (even if most of them don't) but if they're seen getting a text, even a text from me, it could result in suspension. And if they get it after school, then they can't come to the library until the next day. It could work, but it would be cumbersome. Not a bad idea, but I'd like something more timely.</Text>

    <Text>I think that your question is so specific to your district/state/county/city laws and rules that it's hard for anyone else to answer this except you.  In the system I worked for, individual branches could only sell books that were donated.  Weeds had to be sold centrally (via a vendor who sells them on the internet) because of a state or county law requiring us (I believe) to dispose of property acquired with public funds in a way that makes the available for purchase by anyone who is interested.  </Text>

    <Text>No, I would agree, Wikipedia's good for this kind of pop info, if you have a particular place in mind you want to investigate. Although the terminology and layout are not necessarily kid-friendly. 

I didn't think to specify browsability until now, but ideally I'd like to find a browsable (as well as kid-friendly) site *dedicated* to invented places. </Text>

    <Text>I agree. Keep Dewey -- it's the reason we can find specific items better than B&amp;N. But the browsing factor isn't a minor one. "Close but separate" is a good compromise. Can still keep folktales organized by culture of origin, similar stories together, or whatever your library's approach is. This is important for those looking specifically for folktales and also encourages readers to expand beyond the familiar Andersen and Grimm tales. Just sticking them in E will undoubtedly up circ (heck, Michener would circ better if we stuck him w/the Mysteries), but that doesn't mean they are reading them.</Text>

    <Text>I second our commment about professors who have worked in the field. But I've seen / heard about schools that emphasize their instructors practical experience over their ability to teach. Finding a school where the professors are good teachers is something else I would add (though you can only find out about that by talking to alumni, mentioned in a previous answer). </Text>

    <Text>Been thinking about this question -- I think it's too broad.  If it had a paremeter or two, I think it would be easier to answer.  Something like:  "I want to attract boys to my library after school."  "I have $100 to spend but need 6 good reading programs -- any suggestions?"   Is there anything specific you're looking to accomplish, and any limits as to your resources?  </Text>

    <Text>Audrey, that actually is helpful as I was thinking that, for me, it would probably come down to words per page (readability is a huge factor in determining whether things go in the picture book section) and the actual subject matter. I think I will leave the ones that are labeled as being from specific cultures and traditions in Dewey and move the ones that are less clear about their origins to the easy books. </Text>

    <Text>Yes!  I went to Amazon to check, and it even has the same paperback cover picture that I remember. Thank you, thank you!  I hope I can find a copy to give to my son (almost-10 years old) for his birthday.</Text>

    <Text>Hmmm. I will check this further, but the Amazon book description doesn't quite fit.  In the book I'm looking for, the central theme is the relationship between the girl and the fairy in the bottle. Specifically, the girl has had such a gloomy unloved childhood that the question is almost whether she even knows the word love, never mind understanding love enough to express it verbally.  

Thanks for the pointer!</Text>

    <Text>Great question! I already answered, but it might help people to know if you're looking specifically for youth or adult library programs, or just general ideas. (I'm assuming this is a public library question just from the way it is worded.)</Text>

    <Text>I agree with answering personal questions vaguely. Where do you live? I tell them the name of my town. Do you have any pets? Yes, cats. What are their names?

    <Text>Will try With the Light, Genshiken, and Kiichi... based on your recommendation. Read HNG for a while, loved it, but have tried the other two titles and was not wowed.  I think manhwa, though( Kim Dong Hwa notwithstanding), doesn't have a style for me that's recognizably different from manga -- they both seem to include a range of related styles that are similar (with a few exceptions).  Could you explain the difference more?</Text>

    <Text>My library does something similar, but its adult reading program only runs in summer. You get one raffle entry for every four books read, with the drawing at the end of the program. If you win, you get your choice of prizes remaining - the first person to pick up their prize gets first choice, etc. The prizes tend to be gift cards for local businesses.</Text>

At the University of Michigan School of Information, the cataloging class (we learned DDC, MARC, AACR, and cataloging standards for visual resources and educational websites, as well as some theory) actually is called "Organization of Information Resources", and I feel competent to do basic cataloging and to make decisions about online systems now that I've taken it.</Text>

    <Text>I agree with this.  The library school that is right for you will depend on what you want to specialize in, and if you want to do the degree online or in person (or a combination of the two).  I used US News and World Reports ranking of library schools by emphasis to choose my school.  But I already knew what I wanted to concentrate on and that I wanted an online school.
The best piece of advice is to talk to librarians who are a few years out of school about where they went and what they thought of the place.</Text>

    <Text>It's very hard to answer this question generally.  You may want to break it up into separate questions. For instance, you could ask about library school rankings and get answers about that.  Your question about how to find out whethe professors have real-world experience could also stand alone.  And so on.  </Text>

    <Text>I think sometimes the program can matter, if it's known either as a particularly good or particularly bad program. In these cases, though, it seems to me not to be concern with what exactly the program does so much as sheer name recognition -- just like undergrad degrees.</Text>

    <Text>I am seconding points #1 and #5. Being a good Library Board is about representing the community in the library, in my opinion. You should ask lots of questions about policies and rules and see what can be done to improve patron experience. Remember the library director works for the Board, not the other way around! </Text>

    <Text>Thank you for that link. It's a possibility. The author's name is not familiar, nor is the title. Also, one of the reviews on Amazon mentions it's a translation, and the book I read was definitely American. I will check this book out though. Thanks for the help.

    <Text>Mo and Jo is a Toon book, but with a bit more text than I can remember the other Toons having. 

Backpack Stories by Kevin O'Malley starts with a "history" of the packus backus from Ancient Egypt to today, and continues with the adventures of three kids and their wild &amp; crazy backpacks. It is picture book format, so another short one, but cute to get at the library.

What about Adventures in Cartooning by James Sturm? Might take her a while to get through that, but shouldn't be too difficult. A fun story and teaches a lot about marking comics too. 

If she likes vintage comics, we just got a collection of Melvin Monster from 1965 that just came out. Haven't read it myself yet though. </Text>

    <Text>What kind of "content" are you considered about? Violence or swearing? Are you in a school library? You could ask them if they want something more suspenseful or more like a horror story. Ask them for titles or authors they have liked and try to get a feel for what content might be in the book. And, honestly, don't worry so much about the content. You really can't predict what people will object to anyway. We've had people complain about a puppet show we did of Where The Wild Things Are ("too scary").  </Text>

    <Text>You'd be amazed at how strong a thatched roof can be. But in this case, it is a sod roof (put the cow on the roof to eat the grass that's growing there); and as sod is already pretty heavy, the roof had to be built strong to start with.</Text>

    <Text>Wow! These look fantastic! I'll look into adding them to my collection.

As far as book taste is concerned, I have almost every type of male reader you can imagine. The avid readers are looking for "new." The Twilight series and Harry Potter are both big hits on all the yards, as are mysteries and Westerns. The main theme I see in requests from inmates is that they want to use a book to escape the place they are in. I had one inmate tell me "I want to read a story that inspires me and doesn't have people getting shot up." </Text>

    <Text>I think it would have been helpful of me to explain that currently the kids do not log on to the computers with their library card. We use a paper sign-up sheet at the desk. I am worried that it would be extremely time-intensive to check each kids' name against a file of consent forms or against their library card applications. Also, as part of our computer grant funding, we are not allowed to require that patrons using our Internet access must have a library card. </Text>

    <Text>Thanks so much!  Those websites will be incredibly helpful.  We've had the same problem with long series- circulate well, but number 3 got eaten by a dog and number 8 is falling apart at the seams, and there's no money to replace them.  Do you end up with a lot of series "stubs" from when you tried the series out and it didn't work?
Unfortunately, our only "bookstore" is Wal-Mart, but I think I could definitely swing a trip to the next Real City over and hit some bookstores.

    <Text>I think we have an audience for pretty much anything, too-- the problem here in a small community is that that audience might be too small to buy for.  I was always one of the readers who preferred something a little different, so I feel really bad that we can't cater to everyone.  But with size constraints, mega budget constraints, etc., we have to try to cover as much of the population as we can with few series.</Text>

    <Text>Same here.  We have an adult consent form and a separate consent form that an adult must fill out for minors.  We then make an "internet" notation in the borrower's computer record, and, when it comes time for internet use, we take the card, scan it to see if the internet notation is there (and the forms are always there for backup), and let them on based on whether it is or isn't.  It doesn't take long to get the consent (parents usually do it when they sign children up for cards; we always present the option then), and then it's just a matter of checking it after that.</Text>

Anne: Right now I am considering the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and the University of Toronto. I live in-state in Illinois so it's not just the rankings I'm looking at for UIUC. I'm currently considering either school or public librarianship but I'm really undecided, and I don't think I want to do school certifying just yet in any case. Online is okay.</Text>

    <Text>Conventions are amazing ways to get a deal, since many dealers will drag along 'remainder' titles, but the selection is varied and it's a good idea to bring a comprehensive list, alphabetical by title and itemized by number.  Of course, that does mean she'd need to have a con attendee on staff, many libraries do not.  Depending on your area, it's worth looking for your local conventions, and contacting the organizers.  As Sarah said, small cons are usually very pleased to make a difference in their community, since cons get enough negative press. 8)</Text>

    <Text>This is a good point too. I always bring examples of marketing materials (storytime postcards, program flyers, book display signs) and other random things I have made so I can show them my work. Creativity is such an important characteristic for children's librarians, but it is so hard to demonstate in a formal interview. </Text>

    <Text>I agree with akajill about enthusiasm being important. Our library recently hired an assistant director, and 1 candidate stood out in every way: great education, experience, etc. But he had NO personality. The personnel committee decided he wouldn't interact well with the patrons or the other staff, and eventually went with someone who wasn't as qualified, but is as sweet and happy as can be. Here, in particular, the patrons want a staff member who is interested in them, and is upbeat. </Text>

    <Text>To get attention in a large crowd I often use the same trick but instead I ask them to clap one time if they can hear me.

    <Text>Thanks very much for the advice.  What I worry about with getting rid of the tape if we have the CD is that we're cutting out listeners who don't have access to CD, which is why I ask about narrowing down sections like romance to most popular authors, even if there is CD/tape overlap.

We're the main library in our system, so what we have is what the system has; there's only a tiny branch library besides us, and we don't typically ILL audio.

Thanks again for the answer.  The only thing I am afraid of is leaving tape users stranded.</Text>

    <Text>I am with Gene.  The tablet will be color and I think we be much better positioned for what I think must be the holy grail of e-books the education market.  The link below shows what Coursesmart a company that does e-textbooks for college kids thinks they will be able to do with the tablet. If they can break a model for high schools it will be all over for e-books in my opinion

    <Text>I understand your concern about alienating users, but the day is coming where you will no choice but to do so.  Unless your stats are neck-and-neck when it comes to tape vs. CD, go ahead and take the plunge.  To ease the sting on your patrons, you might want to put up large, friendly notices stating that your cassette collection is going to be largely (or, if need be) completely purged and wait a few weeks before you actually let the axe fall.  Given everyone a chance to upgrade; maybe even be ready to talk about making the move to CD and the advantages therein.</Text>

    <Text>I personally have mixed feelings about alienating users of older formats. It isn't always feasible to "force" patrons to upgrade: the cost as well as unfamiliarity with newer technology (especially for older patrons, who are often very avid audiobook users) might prohibit cassette users to move to CD, plus you can't really change a car stereo without changing the car! I prefer the "weeding cassette collection by attrition" method- you can honestly tell patrons that you can't replace cassette titles because they are no longer available.</Text>

    <Text>If I were you, I'd start with this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comic_books#Germany_.28Comic.29 and start looking at http://www.amazon.de/ 

I try to read European comics when I come across them, and none of these names are familiar to me.  I recently saw a high quality, black and white translation of the first Hellboy graphic novel, in German -- it looked great, and it's clear from the quality of the printing there's a market for nice translated editions of foreign comics in Germany.</Text>

    <Text>Great answer, I like hearing about your system's experience.  One problem with keeping the old formats around forever is it makes the library look like the place where old media formats go to die -- I think we're better off going with the societal flow on new formats.  We should all have a few Blueray disks, though they're not replacing the DVDs yet.  But is anyone still making VHS?  (And I hesitate to ask but are ther libraries out there that still circ laserdisks and / or Beta tapes...?)</Text>

    <Text>Yea! I'm glad that was the right one. As for finding books, having too much time on your hands :o) definitely helps, but I generally start with Novelist, using keywords and limiting the age range. If I find a book that is similar in content or subjects assigned to it, I'll search again using those predetermined headings. I already forget how exactly I found this one, but I'll also search in Amazon and I'll Google- fortunately with so many book bloggers out there now, every once in a while I'll find stuff that way. </Text>

    <Text>I know exactly what you mean! I'm also in my 20's, and the youngest staff member at my library (by 24 years, lol). A few weeks ago, an older lady came to the desk, and I asked what I could help her with. She ignored me. Assuming she was hard of hearing, I asked again, slightly louder. She smiled, but didn't say anything. One of the older staff members was helping another patron sign up for a new card at the time. When she (the other staff member) finished, the snobby patron walked right up to her and asked her question. What's up with that?! It's agism, pure and simple, lol.</Text>

    <Text>Matt's question is a very good one. I'm also a younger librarian, and am often mistaken for a student. There's a fine line between "young and professional" and "young." Making a point of dressing nicely, even if the older librarians are more casual, can set you apart from student workers.</Text>

    <Text>It also helps when you're typing up the labels - you can look inside the book instead of having dual screens/programs up when you're first getting the labels printed.
It's also downright possible that it's a left-over antiquity from pre-automated days.  Stop doing it and see if anyone notices it :-)

    <Text>I recently exported all my Anobii.com and LibraryThing books to GoodReads.  It is free (for now) and seems to be more social than LibraryThing.  I had been using LibraryThing to track what I own and anobii to track what I read.  Anobii had many great features to track reading (page count, year to date!) but it was mostly international.  More of my friends are on Goodreads now, so I've made the switch.  Aside from doing some Excel "find and replace" to clean up the export before importing, it was pretty easy to move between the sites.</Text>

I like the suggestions you make, but I work at a Middle/High School, so the Dr. Seuss theme would probably turn off more students than it   would get them involved! :D  I'll think about how I can use this with another theme, though.

    <Text>Middle/high school students would be different...maybe they'd go for a Big Bad day featuring all their favorite undead/monster heroes.  They probably wouldn't feel as much joy from having their names in the books, though.  Perhaps you could do Penny Wars, and have large jars with fave characters' pictures on them.  They vote for their favorites with pennies and loose change.  The group with the most money in the end gets some sort of reward.

At any rate, I hope you think of some really great ideas!</Text>

But I spent the morning in the periodical room: Bundling old newspapers for recycling, updating the "This is what we have in stock" logs, etc. Got covered in newsprint. Spent the afternoon moving furniture. Ah, new library set-ups are such fun. :)
Tomorrow, back to suits and heels :)</Text>

    <Text>We put the call number on the page after the title page, mostly as quality control.  Senior aides or volunteers are usually the ones who process the books after the cataloger is finished with them, and this way we can check to make sure the aide put the correct sticker on the book's spine.  Plus, there are some at my library that DO NOT trust a computer to keep things, so they require a non-computer back-up to the book's spine.  Our call numbers are not printed on the barcode labels.</Text>

    <Text>We are a public library that serves a lot of middle and high school students.  While I can't tell the ages of the borrowers, it would appear that several of the volumes in our two sets have been checked out a few times in the last 4 years.  If you have the space, you might want to keep them.</Text>

    <Text>I'm also curious-- what is their condition?  That would affect my decision.  Also, do you feel that Durant is appropriate to reading level?  (I don't know, so that's a serious question; I don't have enough experience with school assignments and those grade levels; I just have rough and ready public library experience, not school librarian experience)  Be sure to distinguish between knowledge that the Durant series is "classic" and knowledge of your audience's expectations in reference sources.</Text>

    <Text>Some people just feel like the librarian is the best person to talk to. But in our public library, the librarian is mostly administrative, and often directs those with questions to the staff member who is in charge of that particular area. The librarian doesn't oversee every single aspect of everything in the building.</Text>

    <Text>Yes, I can see where it would be very helpful if you're not automated. When I started working here 4 years ago, we weren't automated yet, so we did it.  But after automating, we just continued to do it, but that's why I asked, because it now seems just like extra work.  Thanks for your comment!</Text>

    <Text>I catalog it and just put a sticky note on the front of the book from which the spine label is made. Even if the sticky disappears, you can go back to the bib or item record to see what the call number should be if it hasn't been spine labeled yet.</Text>

    <Text>I'm not sure what you mean by 'stock card'. And, yes, it takes only 2 seconds to scan the barcode to bring it up in the catalog - or maybe 10 seconds to type in the title. So far, with 12,000 items it hasn't been a problem. But we're headed for 3 times that (at least) in the next 10 years.</Text>

    <Text>Thanks everybody - the reasons why seem to either be library-specific as to how your processing process is set up or a 'just in case' type situation. The 'just in case' people haven't yet convinced me that I couldn't find the info elsewhere anyway without much hassle, so I'm still in the 'it isn't really necessary' camp.</Text>

    <Text>At least your teachers checked the books out. Frequently teachers borrow books without even checking them out, figuring I'm sure they'll get them back eventually. It's pretty obvious when you get to year end inventory and look at titles/descriptions of what is missing: stuff kids really, really like and stuff kids wouldn't touch unless forced. It's interesting to compare the $ value of these two types of inventory that goes missing too . . . </Text>

    <Text>I have looked at eLibrary and do use it. But I haven't found the reading level limit to work very well e.g. even when I ask for lower level stuff I still get material at too high a level. In more than one case, I've gotten the same results returned even after I do the search limiting results. I'm guessing their algorithm works if there is plenty of material to choose from but you get whatever they can find if the pickings are slim?</Text>

    <Text>I read them in French, yes. But I do not know whether they were written in French or not. 
For example, I read a lot of English/American literature when I was a kid (translated in French of course). I didn't look, back then, to see who the author was or what country they were from - I just wanted the stories! :D</Text>

    <Text>I don't think that's it either but again, thanks for the answer. The cover looks different from what I remember (I remember it being brown with only words.  Don't reference librarians love people like me? "The cover was brown and it had words!  Does that help?") and a quick read of a &lt;a href="http://suite101.com/article.cfm/fantasy_and_science_fiction/9177"&gt;review&lt;/a&gt; suggests that this was off planet and I could have sworn this was Earth based.

I do remember though that the aliens were not met until the very end.

I'll see if the local library has a copy to double check though.

Thanks again</Text>

    <Text>Amelia - I'm a private high school librarian who got asked something similar. My answer was about how the library is an intentional community space. Some activities (study, group work, research, working with a librarian) are best done in the library, and other spaces in the school aren't as accessible or good for them. Other things (purely social conversations, rowdy play, etc.) have other spaces in the school and community, so they're not allowed to detract from library-specific uses. </Text>

    <Text>There are an awful lot of books in the genre with cross-dressing women! I think the difference with the book in question is that the reader believes the character to be a built-like-a-tank man for a good portion of the book. And, again, this is an admittedly vague description. I was just hoping it might ring a bell for someone. Thanks again!</Text>

    <Text>I think your answer would be a good one. It is unique enough that the interviewers have (probably) not heard it yet but yet still shows you know your limitations. I have used several different answers. The last interview I said that sometimes I pay too much attention to the details and do not see the whole picture. I also said that I have Adult Attention Deficit Disorder and that I have to take constant notes and reminders so that I do not forget things and projects due dates.</Text>

    <Text>I agree with all of this. I would also wonder why you would be ashamed of having people you know see you while you're working in the library. Obviously, they are coming into the library so they probably think that is pretty cool. I manage several pages at my job and their friends are always happy to see them working (and often stop by to see if they are in). The pages smile, say "hey!" and then they better get back to shelving, goshdarnit. :) </Text>

    <Text>Policy is just the support behind the actions - it gives staff the authority and confidence to deal with issues (in this case being able to say "We don't allow running" or whatever in the library). Training would give specific actions: if little Johnny is climbing the shelves, go over to him and gently help him down, saying "We can't climb in the library - let's go find your mom, or a book to read" etc. Having someone with early childhood experience (pre-school teacher, university professor) do a staff training is very helpful; role-playing specific scenarios is good practice too.</Text>

    <Text>I find the idea of labeling something "grade y and up" a little disturbing. Shouldn't our goal as librarians be to encourage access to books, not overly restrict it? I know that particularly around grades 4 and 5 in my school there are wide variances between maturity levels and reading abilities and I would be afraid that labeling something as "grade 3 and up" would discourage more students than intended.</Text>

    <Text>Amanda, I agree completely! By suggesting this, I meant it as a last resort kind of thing, where Mary could propose this as a "compromise", should the teacher(s) and/or principal would like to get rid of the book altogether. IMHO, better keep the book for some grades than not having the book at all. 


By the way: Mary, in the end, what happened to the book?</Text>

    <Text>If fines aren't a deterrent now, a larger fine might or might not work. If money isn't motivation, why not go for something that affects their lifestyle? Some schools withhold report cards until fines are paid. Or maybe some sort of detention? It's hard, because you don't want to become the bad guy but the library deserves respect, too!</Text>

    <Text>Fines aren't a deterrent now because most students think the fine is completely manageable - I cannot tell you how many students scoffed about the fine, at the beginning of the year, when I was telling them about the library policies! 
We are also doing the "hold the report card" until books are back. We haven't spoken about detention yet, and I'd rather increase the fee first than giving out detentions. </Text>

    <Text>What I did - because we have several other children's dictionaries I removed this one from the dictionary shelf.  It is now housed on the shelf of "other reference books" - books that we have in case someone ever asks for the information but they aren't often used (like the Bible and "Everyday Items in American Life 1776-1876").  The information is still available, but now it won't be a distraction during dictionary activities.  I'm also in the process of gathering some child dev. research to keep handy as was suggested here.</Text>

    <Text>I can find plenty of lists of his works, it's the "by genre" part that's difficult; I'd rather not have to track down copies of all 150 or so books just to figure out which ones I'm actually looking for. Thank you for the offer, though; I'll look up the article.</Text>

    <Text>We did look into Poe but our district's view of alcohol as a gateway drug for teens makes "Cask" seem more like a drug deal gone bad than a character study. The others are a little too light hearted for what we are looking. If we wanted light we were considering an excerpt from the "Great Brain"</Text>

    <Text>I check the cds out to the kids like a regular audio book.  Most of the kids will listen and turn them back in or renew if they need more time.  If they put them on their Ipods, I am blissfully unaware.  Most of my students would delete them when they are done anyway.  They don't want to waste the space they could use for music or videos.  :) I like having the ability to access the audio immediately for them. There are only 358 kids in my high school, and I have a good relationship with most of them, I've been preaching intellectual property rights at them since middle school.</Text>

    <Text>It sounds like they plan to keep publishing The Advocate, but only with an Out subscription. That's why I don't understand why they don't just combine them and be done with it.  What's the point of keeping both?  Except Out seems to be a little less 'serious' than The Advocate. (Think: Cosmo vs. Newsweek)</Text>

    <Text>ISSN is not necessary in our system...but I feel like if I have separate bib records for each publication, then they should be shelved separately as well.  Whereas, if I barcode them all as items under the OUT bib record, I could shelve them all in the Out shelf space. I'm probably just going to do that since I already eliminated the spot for The Advocate and I'd have to do a lot of shifting to get it back in the A's!</Text>

    <Text>I just heard about and read it last month. I would say it still holds up. I've been calling it the lesbian &lt;i&gt;Forever&lt;/i&gt;.I couldn't believe how sweet it was, especially just after reading Garden's book about a school shooter.

    <Text>I have no problem posting "negative" signs, because they are RULES. Taking this the step further: you don't see the state posting "It would be nice if you didn't drink and drive". Well, same deal, though not life-threatening.

Our society is so PC and so fearful of coming on too strongly... it's like parents or teachers who are afraid of saying "no" to kids because those poor kids won't "thrive" anymore. I believe in the opposite: rules and limits push people to do more and better.

Anyways, there ARE limits and it should not be a big deal to teach/remind people of them. 

Just my 2 cents.</Text>

    <Text>Cynthia - couldn't stop laughing a bit at this; unfortunately, I don't feel that it is quite right to make such a threat when I can't legally carry it out. Moreover, I would be afraid I wouldn't know what to do if the threat proved to be useless. But thanks for letting me know that some people DO do this anyways!</Text>

    <Text>I like that, but I think I'd be much more likely to search my local library's catalog for a book than Worldcat (though if I had a link in front of me, I suppose I'd do the latter). The downside for me is the lack of information about the book itself.  I also don't like seeing only the first part of a review from othe websites, though I like the variety of websites WC pulls reviews from. </Text>

    <Text>I agree!!  I usually go by the rule that if you haven't heard back in a week's time, it's okay to send a nice e-mail re-asserting your interest and a "hope to hear from you soon".

I also usually ask for a timeline - a "so, how long to do think your process will take" kind of question when I'm being interviewed.  That way you know about how long it will take, and when that time has come and gone and you're still waiting, you have a good frame of reference.  Good luck!  Hope you hear something soon.</Text>

    <Text>Thanks for the info!  Right now, we're just having the circ and reference librarians make a note if they see a duplicate, and letting us know.  We found that if it's the same author, you can take the author out but leave the title in, it still links and you don't get the duplicate record.  Hopefully nothing ends up catastrophically fails with that or I may be back :-)

I originally rejected "Children" without reflection b/c 9-12 are also "children" - but if they are "tweens" for this purpose, it's not like they're being left out of the whole project by not being included under the title of "children".

    <Text>You're right; I think there is definitely a different approach to take between signs (I prefer clear, "negative" messages), and the way you talk with a patron (polite and "positive" messages will go further). I took the OP to be more about signs than direct dialogue with patrons.</Text>

    <Text>The iPad has a different target group and aim than ordinary e-book readers. It is far cheaper than most laptops, and if it delivers what it promises it will probably set the standard for couch-surfing. And it will probably put a computer into hands of many who have avoided computers before. And this computer will be the best to read e-books on of all "ordinary" computers. I was not thinking about illigal circumventing the iBookstore, but about how libraries can deliver content to this platform as well as other that will come in the near future.</Text>

Let the product enter the market and lets see what it is used for by people and what is developed for it.</Text>

    <Text>You had already chosen your answer which showed there wasn't a point. I was just trying to show historic reasons. Actually, I think my last sentence implies that we don't need to do it if you don't fit the conditions. 
We all have our cataloging quirks, biases, and intricacies that others buy into or don't. Mine for example is an extreme hatred of collective biography. I think most places use 920 as a cop-out. Just MY bias. </Text>

    <Text>I agree as well! A great thing I did that helped my rep' for getting the position I'm in now was to send a "thank you for meeting with me" immediately after the interview (and I had 3 interviews, each time with different people. I found their email addresses on the school's website). 
The first interviewer (who became my direct supervisor) told me that she was impressed by my email, especially that I was the only one to do that out of all the people they saw (and they saw many). Sometimes it's the little things that set you apart. ;)</Text>

    <Text>The funny thing is that it is such a basic piece of job searching manners.  The three things I was always taught while searching for a job was perfect (and I mean not a spot on it) resume, always be at least five minutes early to the interview, and always send a thank you note for the interview. In our particular field I would add always do your research. Visit the library ahead of time you can.</Text>

    <Text>In the short term both individual e-book buying customers and libraries are scr**ed, but in the long run DRM will prove too costly, too easy to break and to customer un-friendly. It will take a while to sort these things out, and both publishers and authors probably want DRM as a safety belt before testing the e-book waters in large numbers. Once we are past the getting toes wet phase I predict that DRM will frustrate authors as muchs as readers and the pressure on publishers will be from two fronts. DRM will dissapear. But your point about worthless DRM´ed purchases is valid in the short term</Text>

    <Text>Bill I agree. The ipad is much more then a e-book reader.  But what is it is still the question? Until we get a more definitive answer i am stuck with the idea that Steve Jobs and crew for the first time in history have made the computer bigger and expecting everyone to flip out for it.  Because right now all I see is a bigger more expensive itouch. Let me see what apps and programs develop for it before I think it a big deal.</Text>

    <Text>@Bill Barnes I'm sure there will be DRM but it may not be Adobe compatible DRM.  The EPUB format does not specify a specific DRM scheme.  From Adobe blog, "For example, EPUB content protected with Apple DRM won't work on numerous eReaders like the Barnes &amp; Noble nook and the Sony Reader, not to mention future, forthcoming models. Similarly, protected EPUB eBooks obtained from thousands of online booksellers (including Barnes &amp; Noble) and most public libraries (including The New York Public Library)—are unreadable on the iPad." http://blogs.adobe.com/digitaleditions/</Text>

    <Text>I´m still pondering that:-) Maybe there is a different approach to the concept of books that we still not have hit upon. The concept of single copies might dissapear, there might be a question of added value. I bet there is somebody still in library school who will find a solution:-)

In the meantime I put my money on a time-expiration-DRM solution. Libraries will probably use DRM after DRM dissapears from the open marketplace. And the sad thing is that we will be the guarantee that DRM will work for a long time (preservation of outdated technology ´R`US)

    <Text>Adding my two cents: first off, hopefully you've already sent the thank you letter (generally you want to get it out within 24 hours of interview) and secondly, at the end of the interview you can/should ask: what is the timeframe for your hiring decision? At this point, I think it's fine to send a follow up email, thanking them again for the opportunity to be considered for the position, and that you look forward to hearing from them regarding their hiring decision. That's it. Keep it simple.</Text>

    <Text>The Parenting Kits are aimed both at parents who want to guide or teach their children about a particular topic, in this case, adoption, and at children probably birth through kindergarten.

Typically those who have checked out the Kits in the past have been parents hoping to make a child more comfortable with a particular situation or topic.  I'm not sure if the majority of people looking at this kit would be parents &amp; their adopted children or just those hoping to show examples of different families.</Text>

    <Text>I second/third both of these.  LibraryThing is a lot of fun, but KOHA is a little more serious in the sense that you can enter everything with cataloging rules :-)  I used KOHA for a cataloging class project and we were all really happy with the results.</Text>

    <Text>I fourth? the LibraryThing recommendation.  It isn't a true library catalog, but for your requirements, you don't seem to need that.  

It will track what you own, allow you to tag, and will keep it hosted outside your house, which will help for insurance purposes.  You can also download your data at any time, so if you find a better site/product, you can import your books in fairly easily.

The only weakness of Library Thing may be your media.  

Sure, you can get open-source software and set up Koha, but do you have a server to put it on and how will you back it up?</Text>

    <Text>I also think that your question of finding "ways around" the ibookstore's closed ecosystem was suggesting illegal activity, intended or not.  If you want ebooks for it, for libraries, Talk to the people at Overdrive, and see if they want to carry them for the Library2go program.  Finally, the Ipad is only cheap by comparison to a mac laptop, and it's performance reflects that price.  I can get an IBM PC for under 400 that will read ebooks just fine, through BN.com's ebook reader program for windows, and not worry about Microsoft pushing for higher prices.</Text>

    <Text>I'm pretty sure if they "had" to read Beowulf, the graphic novel version wouldn't "count". A lot of whether I will pick up a book or not depends on the cover; if the art's more cartoony-looking, it's probably a looser adaptation and an easier read, or at least easier on the eyes than the old American comics style of art. I'd check the inside too: If the pages aren't crammed with art and text, the eye can pass over them more easily.</Text>

    <Text>YES!!  YES!!  THAT'S IT!  "Sovereign by Rebecca M. Meluch"

BWA HA HA HA HA HA!

Thank you so much!  With the correct title and author, I've found a number of corroborative references; that's absolutely the book I remember.  

Further, now that I know the author, it looks like she's written a number of other things I'll like - specificially the "Merrimack" series, which I'll be ordering ASAP.

Again - many, many thanks!

    <Text>On a similar vein, I'm curious which of these can handle "to read" lists (working in a library my list of books to read gets bigger faster than I can read stuff off of it.) Also do any of them handle music/movies?</Text>

    <Text>Flixter will let you rate a movie or mark it "want to see it", but the resulting list is difficult to search or browse through.  Plus, I can't figure out how to view just the movies I've marked "want to see."  Half the time when I try to rate a movie I just watched the search function can't find it and it's a recent mainstream movie.  It looks like you can make custom lists, but I can't see it being effective at cataloging what you own.  After using LibraryThing and Goodreads for cataloging books, I'm extremely disappointed in Flixter.  I'll have to check out Movietally.</Text>

    <Text>It is more that I keep discovering new sites.  I just get settled with a site and then everyone I know moves on to a new site.  I think Anobii did the best job with tracking what you read, especially with the statistics, but very few Americans were on it.  Goodreads has more people on it, but lacks some of the features of the other sites.  I am happy that they all port data between each other well.</Text>

    <Text>I work at the library for an outdoor history museum and we use LT for our "New Books" list, too. LT is separate from our catalog but you can access it from our web page. We tag by acquisition fund so that staff responsible for collection development know when materials have been processed. I also think the visibility LT Local gives our library is helpful.  </Text>

    <Text>Are you sure this is a CIPA issue?  My understanding has always been that a request to unblock the filter by an adult for any reason is to be allowed. CIPA is interpreted differently in school libraries (for obvious reasons) but even in my school all one has to do is request the site be unblocked and it is.  

So I guess my question for you is are they citing CIPA as the reason or does the library itself have another internet use policy?</Text>

    <Text>I love the detail of this answer, it made me want to go read the book. But when entering answers keep in mind that, as they get voted up and down, they won't stay in the sequence in which you entered them. So starting with "XXX is also great" is going to end up being confusing down the line. Make each answer self-contained.</Text>

I remember as an Orthodox kid reading in the Antonia Spitzer Library a lot of books that would fit that description, series in which almost all of the characters were Orthodox Jews...

    <Text>@aslum LibraryThing now have "collections" that you can use organize books by.  A book can belong to more than one collection.  For instance, I'm currently listening to _Hunger Games_ and have it in my Audio Book, Library, and Currently Reading Collections.  It would be very easy to add a "to read" collection if you needed a way to organize your TBR pile.</Text>

    <Text>Totally agree with the sentiments of "it's good enough for you, but not for me." Most of the weeded nonfiction gets recycled, and some of the weeded fiction gets put into the donation book sale. We also have had a mold problem, so a fair number have had to be put straight in the dumpster. </Text>

    <Text>I discard for a variety of reasons, but not usually because it isn't good enough. It's more about: I have no room for it, it's not being used, it's no longer part of the curriculum. We are not allowed to sell anything although we can give it away. I will have to look into our recycle program to see if they will take books.  Good idea.</Text>

    <Text>I definitely agree. We had to get rid of all our multiple copies as we had no room. I gave them to teachers first then students. I also replaced my classics with newer editions. Most of my discarded picture books are picked up, it's the reference and some fiction that sit there. I suppose after a month or two I should just recyle those.</Text>

    <Text>Whether for curriculum reasons, multiple copies, no room, any reason for weeding comes down to "It isn't good enough for our shelf" because if it were, we would find some way to keep it and withdraw something else instead. I know this is somewhat black and white but with publicly funded libraries (public, school, public university) the majority of taxpayers will view it as such and will not listen to nor accept a reasoned nuance. </Text>

    <Text>When the university library moved the off-campus annex onto campus last year, staff did a significant weeding. The library has a contract with Better World Books -- all discards go to them. They supply the boxes, tape and pick up. Some of the money from books that are resold come back to the library. A pretty good deal, I think.</Text>

    <Text>I second Better World Books.  If you want to have the hassle, your Friends program can also use the ISBN and sell materials on Amazon as a used book.

We used BWB for books on koalas for our youngest.  When he's too old for the former library books, we will give them to his school's library so they have something on the topic.</Text>

    <Text>One thing that I would remind you is there is no such thing as a "good book".  There are books he will read and books that he won't.  There are books that will turn him off of reading altogether.  Set him loose in the library or in a bookstore.  Show him Novelist so he can find what HE wants to read.  As long as it is a book he is interested in, let him read it.  My niece is good at self-censoring.  If it has content over her head, she doesn't keep reading.</Text>

    <Text>I've tried this - the quality of work was definitely lacking (for teens, in my case), but there was a ton of stuff to do that I would never get around to - pull out the gross and used-up crayons, for example, or separating out the functional glue bottles from the ruined ones.  I was the "branch manager" and only employee at my branch, and didn't usually have any volunteers other than to work off fines, so I did the shelving and things where it would actually matter if someone was lazy, and left the boring/repetitive jobs for the kids and teens.</Text>

    <Text>Special education students aren't necessarily lacking in motor skills. Many of them have learning disabilities. They tend to be of pretty normal intelligence, but for whatever reason might struggle in the classroom. You could do the same sorts of things with kids from an alternative school, who may just find it difficult to succeed in a regular classroom. They could have behavior problems, be teen parents, etc. </Text>

    <Text>Mary Z--I will definitely check out Pebble Go. I would love to have them mess around with technology and we definitely have the capabilities. And they would love to do a movie! I love, love Mo Willems and I will have to do the pigeon books and Elephant and Piggie, too. I can also see the teens doing easy magic trick crafts. They all have a great sense of humor and like goofing on each other so those types of crafts should be a hit. Thank you, thank you!</Text>

    <Text>I could see that being a reason to reread.  But part of the reason I love the Penman that I reread is because at a certain point it is comfortable. I am transported but I usually pick up a reread when I just want the familiar and do not need to immerse myself.</Text>

    <Text>I think these books are old enough to be public domain, but you're right that I should check on that before doing anything.

Well-aged books are attractive but I'm concerned because many of these have spines that are so faded that they can't be read. 

I like the idea of putting these books on display! Many of them have interesting and eye catching art that would probably be a draw. Thanks for the idea!</Text>

    <Text>I found Gemini Game and was re-reading it, but more details don't fit. It has VR games and the main characters (boy and girl) are Game Makers, on the run because people are in comas b/c they died while playing a game designed by the game makers. They end up fighting the virus hidden in their computer world. One character can plug directly into the game and change things easily (spoiler - she created the virus). No clothes with snaps embedded in flesh or hacker battles leading to crippling (only comas).</Text>

    <Text>You didn't mention if these were adult books or children's books, but I actually had my students make paper covers for books that had no covers. Some read the books and some designed the covers based on the title. We used somehting similar to oaktag and put plastic covers on them. It might work if you set a work table up in your library. </Text>

    <Text>Interesting. I was just on a listserve and librarians were discussing LJ reviews that did not mention the book had profanity, the librarian bought it and read it and now doesn't want it. Another librarian puts a blue circle on it so it can be taken away from the student at the check out desk. </Text>

    <Text>I like this. I think inherently or automatically this is how I decide if there is no recommendation and nothing in the review.  I write reviews for our state and it is only after I read it that I can decide which group (k-2,3-6, 5-8, YA) would it be appropriate for. I don't always agree with the review journals or amazon.</Text>

    <Text>I also agree that you need to make your expectations clear when arranging visits, with the teachers and with the students. For instance- I am happy to come into your classrooms. I would need you to stay in the classroom and assist  me with school behavior and policies. It is especially helpful if you sit with the children and participate and model appropriate behavior. I really appreciate your help. I think together we can make this an enriching and exciting experience for the children. 

This can be done with a letter prior to your visit.</Text>

    <Text>You must have a degree higher than what you are teaching, in most cases. So anybody with a Master's would be qualified to teach at the Bachelor's level (or lower, like Associate's). However, it is usually a requirement that you have a degree in a field related to what you are teaching. So don't count on your MLS getting you into a nice job as an Economics professor. (Yeah, like anybody would want to teach Economics these days?! lol)</Text>

    <Text>I read it in middle school - so 12-14ish would be about right. I wasn't even a big reader back then and I absolutely loved the series! 

I would add anything else by Susan Cooper as well. I read a few of her other books and loved them.</Text>

    <Text>I can't speak for the requirements of most places, but the school that I got my Associate's Degree at does not restrict someone from teaching 100-200 level classes based on their Master's degree. They simply had to have a Masters degree, and prove that they were competent to teach the subject. </Text>

    <Text>I second Monstrous Regiment, since it introduces the world with a selection of all the race interactions (something that always plays a role in Discworld books) and can be a basis to move to one or another of the worlds.

Sam Vimes is still my favorite, though.</Text>

    <Text>Yeah. I caught about 1/3 of the movie or so, but ended up having to stop watching it out of sheer frustration. Not, mind you, with the movie itself, but the showing I taped had completely messed up closed captions making it nay impossible for me to follow along, even with a copy of the book nearby. Which is sad, because, well, Tim Curry :)</Text>

    <Text>Good idea! However, I know the principal does not like the idea of an amnesty day - I think both for the money (though it wouldn't be that much) and for our charter, which emphasizes students' sense of responsibility over their actions. </Text>

    <Text>Having cataloged graphic novels, this is a great way to do it. Make sure the series stay together, no matter who wrote/illustrated them - this was one of my big pet peeves at one library where I did cataloging! 
If there is a comic book shop or something similar in your town, I'd make friends with the owner- they can help you fill gaps in your collection.</Text>

    <Text>OK. How about you switch it from amnesty to something that costs no money. The public library near me lowers fines for every 1/2 hour the kids read in the library.  Therefore they are still responsible but the information is still free.</Text>

    <Text>If you have project management skills, then this definitely translates to any industry, but I don't think being a librarian necessarily leads to good project management.  Keeping a project organized and on task is very different than running a library branch.  I have often wished I could send staff to project management trainings.  I think it would benefit any library to have those skills.</Text>

    <Text>I needed something similar to put my daughters toys (that are usually strewn across the living room) into when we clean. I found a wire frame-plastic weave basket in pretty shades of green and white on clearance at Target for about $6. It is about 18 x 24 inches and at least 12 inches deep, so it would probably work well for storing picture books if you stand them upright.</Text>

    <Text>I rarely watch movies in first-run theaters (maybe 3-4 a year), as my library is pretty good about getting movies as soon as they're released on dvd. I like this idea, and I have definitely done it both ways... if a movie is unwatchable, it's probably not worth reading the book. And while there are exception, usually they're pretty easy to spot EG a million fanboys decrying the injustice of the poor adaptation.</Text>

    <Text>I like the "board game" idea, and I will certainly include it in my list of "things to do instead of watching TV". I cannot do it because I work at a school library and we are closed in the evenings, but it is a great idea for public libraries.</Text>

    <Text>I'm really dragging my feet with OpenID... Don't like it one bit. I really can see the pros of it, but it's not for me (at least for now). I didn't like that I had to go through OpenID to have a profile here, and I don't like the prospect of having no choice regarding how I can get a picture up either. I guess the question is: why don't we have the choice? What are the cons of allowing users to upload a picture the "old-fashioned" way? Why do we have to go through Gravatar? </Text>

    <Text>From a programmers perspective, the nice thing about openID and gravatar is that a fairly common "system" is already programmed and ready to go. Why reinvent the wheel (in this case user authentication/registration, avatars, etc) when some fairly nice and safe wheels already exist and are available for free.</Text>

    <Text>When I was in college a professor, Dr. Ben Nelms, made us watch the movie first and them told us to buy the book--as English majors (teachers) we were outraged.  His purpose was to put us in the shoes of our students who would rather watch the movies than read.  Often what you do first is your favorite and shapes your perceptions.  It was one of the few times I liked the movie better than the book--proved his point. Can't remember the name but it it had Kelley McGillis in it--trying to save the town from flood? </Text>

    <Text>I'll follow this up later.  I was trying to discuss how other libraries in general deal with unfiltering requests and what their policies are.  dywhcomic.com was just the example I had at the time.  I remember in the back of my mind something like over 30 sites blocked that day.  Been here less than 30 minutes and already hit the block three times.

Thanks,

    <Text>&lt;blockquote&gt;The library must do so in a timely manner and must not question the adult about their reasons for their request. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Gotta admit that when I was reading up on the CIPA that day, I found a fair amount of discussion on those two points and how wide different opinions are on the topic.  Timely manner has taken anywhere from 30 minutes to over a week in my experience and I always get asked.  *chuckle* I did point out the last time they asked me about a site, that they weren't allowed to ask me such. </Text>

    <Text>I feel that's the way it should be but it's not.  In PLCMC, the library staff (And it has to be an actual ie degreed staff member) sends in an emailed request to the IT department and they judge if they're going to unblock it or not.  99% of the time, they also forget to flush the proxy cache so it may be unblocked for them but I have to wait at least a couple of hours for the cache to clear.

I did notice that no where within the PLCMC (and I;m sorry to keep harping on them but that's who I';m dealing with) docs is there any mention on how to unblock or if that's even an option.</Text>

    <Text>*chuckle* All they'll see is webcomics followed by lots of PHP and perl code.

And I can't believe that while we're laying off teachers here in Meck county, they're doing a name change for a couple hundred grand.  Talk about bad timing.

Wouldn;t happen to know how to actually make a request for unfiltered access now, do you?  I've yet had any staff member know the policy and IT (and library administration) will not respond to patron requests.</Text>

    <Text>That's a good point, and even follows when other media are turned into books, and thence movies (or whatever order things happen in). I still maintain that the original Radio series is far superior to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, which is superior to both the movie and televised version. I haven't seen any of the stage plays so I can't comment, but I love them all even if some versions are better, they are also separate and things don't happen the same in any of the different versions.</Text>

    <Text>I was curious about how others would answer this. It does seem as if we read for ourselves, for an inner thirst of knowledge or dreams or hopes, on a quest of adventure, of learning or discovery.  As adults we are lucky we are the lucky ones. We know and acknowledge the joyfulness of reading. I can only hope that the students I work with will also love to read.  </Text>

    <Text>Yes, it costs to check them out. It possibly discourages use, but it's cheaper then blockbuster. I don't entirely agree with the policy.  There can be a note placed on the card to waive the fee for low-income people/families. </Text>

    <Text>The other thing is that age and reading level aren't the same thing. A 4th grader reading at college level probably is stuck reading non-fiction and classics, without mature themes in.

    <Text>I moved to the YA because my 8th graders complained that we didn't have any mature books for them. I first pulled some and put them on an 8th grade shelf, but the kids liked them so much they asked for a YA shelf...My 7th and 8th graders head to that section. I think because it is easier then browsing through our large (5000) fiction section.</Text>

    <Text>Cynthia - ugh, what a lousy place to be in. I hate having to wave the "Trained professional, can I please just do my job?" flag. 

Have you tried comparing it to whatever the general process is for setting curriculum? Or getting teachers on your side about the problems with having inaccurate information in the library for their projects? </Text>

    <Text>Dragonbreath and the sequel, Attack of the Ninja Frogs, are excellent books! I'm a big fan of Ursula Vernon's work. They're popular even at my 6-8 middle school. Also, she has written an illustrated chapter book, Nurk: The Strange Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew that is popular with my kids. If your students can comprehend Wimpy Kid, they're probably going to be able to read all three of these.</Text>

    <Text>Do you put some notation on their record so that people in the meantime know that they are internet-only patrons? Or just an address verification needed flag (which would also work if you've got mail returned, probably) which lets people by inference know that the patron isn't allowed to borrow?</Text>

    <Text>The state id office is right across the street, and apparently their requirements are less stringent, because I've turned people away for not having anything with their address on, and a few hours later they're back with a state id that has their address. Sometimes with streets misspelled, sometimes with the wrong city for the zip code given, but nevertheless, since it agrees with what they said their address is, we take it. And then we curse a lot.</Text>

    <Text>Seems like that would be quite expensive in cards, if there were a bunch of mail returns. When I was in school, the outsider cards were signed, then had a barcode applied, and laminated for strength. And then mailed, so you couldn't use it past the first day until you got it in the mail.</Text>

    <Text>what do you do with the cards that are returned? Hang onto them with a notation in the record? And then re-verify the address when the patron shows up again? Sometimes the post office can be quite picky about the apt. number, even if they've only moved a few floors or doors away.</Text>

    <Text>It's amazing how many people don't know the address of where they're at. They know the name of the building, and where it's at, but not the actual street address. But I always figure, if you've just moved, you at least have a rental receipt, which might have the address on (cross fingers) or a lease agreement, even if you haven't gotten mail or bills yet.</Text>

    <Text>You might want to change "above" to "previous" or "other"... Depending on the users preferences, answers can be ordered from newest to oldest, vice versa, or with most votes on top.

    <Text>This sounds like a good idea,since middle schoolers seem to travel in packs. I might try advertising that I can match them up with a good title, or a good series, etc. They do come in a lot during the day, but I am in classes almost every afternoon, so I was trying to get them to remember I am available at least 1-2 days before school.</Text>

    <Text>at least once you've got some classes under your belt you'll have some tricks of searching databases and whatnot, I assume. Or you'll know how indexers think so you'll have a better chance of hitting the right keywords for the question. So for a while the public will get the advantage of having a librarian w/out having to pay for one.</Text>

    <Text>Unfortunately we're in a Reader's Workshop curriculum (well, not unfortunately, it's great) but that means that books need to be at a truly "independent" reading level. The Lloyd Alexander books range from 5th to 7th grade reading level. Thanks though, I will check them out for my other students.</Text>

    <Text>I'm no good at copyright issues, but I'm not entirely convinced that you're allowed to make format changes on commercially released video, just because it hasn't come out in the right format legally yet. Even if the rights holder has gone out of business.  It just doesn't feel legal. Should check first. </Text>

    <Text>I would guess that converting an item from VHS to DVD would fall under fair use as long as 1) the original was still in the collection, 2) the item was not distributed, 3) the item was only used for educational purposes, and 4) those purposes fell within the original license. 

Items for check out to the students definitely wouldn't be fair use, but a DVD copy that was checked out with the original VHS, and only by teachers it would probably be okay.</Text>

    <Text>When I read your question and before I started reading the answers, that is what I had thought of: give the VHS to the teachers who use them, discard the rest (or recycle them - there are a few things to be done with the tape or the cases, if you google it :) ), and then start building your DVD/streaming video collection. It really lets teachers who like a particular video the opportunity to hang on to it, while giving a chance to everyone to move out of the 80's and 90's and into the 21st century :D</Text>

    <Text>Yes, my brother told me that John Rateliff cited it in his book, The History of the Hobbit, saying that:

"So far as I  know, the first edition text of the [Riddle] chapter has been reprinted in its entirety only once in the last fifty-five years, in the anthology Masterpieces of Terror and the Supernatural, ed. Marvin Kaye &amp; Saralee Kaye [1985]."

However, my brother remembered that I had once told him about reading that chapter in an anthology long ago and asked about it. That's why I was trying to find out it's name. Now I feel geek-cool knowing something that John Rateliff didn't.</Text>

Someone raised the suggestion once that maybe these students actually had eyesight problems or reading comprehension problems and were unable to process the call number information.

Then of course we have a library branch that puts it;s graphics novels in no less than 5 different places within their branch.  Maybe it's an organizational issue and they don't have a clue how to locate books. (I know I have a problem and I have an MLIS.)</Text>

    <Text>Wanted to give an update about this. I sent another email to the group  leader explaining about this book that disappeared and reappeared during their meetings; I also thanked her for everything that she does do to keep the library clean (stuff she listed in her email). I got a response from her today, much calmer than yesterday, and clearly struck that the book was obviously borrowed by someone from her group. She'll ask everyone in her group to please bring any book that they borrowed ASAP. </Text>

    <Text>Tables and chairs are usually put back fine - it's usually a couple of chairs by the computers (but I've since learned that they use a laptop that someone brings to keep occupied a few kids that adults bring with them. I'm okay with that), and some books on the shelves that have been moved around a bit (books put horizontally on top of other books, or books shelved in the wrong spot, as if they browsed, didn't like it, and put it back wherever they were then). I just really want to make sure they don't take the books home, you know? I think your library is smart not to let meetings happen :)</Text>

    <Text>Stephan definitely outlines a good strategy. I've used it many times, especially when I transitioned a film teacher from 16mm film to DVDs. You might also be able to dazzle the teachers with the closed captioning and bonus materials on many DVDs.

If possible, skip to streaming videos. With them, you worry most about network connections and copyright. DVDs, on the other hand, are physical objects that get scratched and broken and don't play well when covered in fingerprints. Include some information about handling the discs properly with introducing DVDs.</Text>

    <Text>Material theft is really frustrating for me, as is damaging magazines (yeah, I know he's cute, but I want to read the article on the back of that picture you just removed for your wall).  My boss is big on keeping a positive face on things, which I can understand, but I feel like it's important to let people know when things are stolen.  How to do that, however, is tricky.  I don't want to preach to the choir, but I want people to know that the theft is noticed.  Even if there isn't really anything I can do about it.</Text>

    <Text>I'd also throw in his **Westmark** trilogy. They're less fantasy, though they're not in our world (kind of **Princess Bride**-like, that way...which, come to think of it...) but great strong female character, a bit darker than some of his other books, pleasing romantic involvement.</Text>

    <Text>A book having rape doesn't mean that it doesn't *also* have a good love story, but I take your point. Strike **Tender Morsels** from the list, but **Fire** is probably fine—the love story is great and compelling, and there aren't violent rape scenes; you know it happened and characters need to deal with the fact that *they* know if happened, but it's not something the reader has to experience.</Text>

    <Text>Ah, I see, for the record though, I don't think there's any shortage of romantic classics! Plus, most of these books I actually read in seventh/eighth grade. Now, though, as much as I love classics, my schoolwork's gotten so intense that it's rare that I have enough time and energy to read something as intense as Dickens or Dumas. Depending on her academic track, she may decide to read lower-level stuff, so she can read and do her homework without too many braincells dying. That's more or less what I've been doing since tenth/eleventh grade. Might be worth considering.</Text>

Transferring to a newer format is making a copy, thus it falls under the usual guidelines for copyright.  What's more, VHS is still a commercially available format.  We are still dealing with some Beta tapes that we haven't been able to purchase replacements for.  

One option, if a DVD copy is not available for purchase, is to contact the copyright holder and request permission to transfer to the DVD format.</Text>

    <Text>I disagree, Stephan—an FAQ is something we're all used to turning to with easy, common questions. A reference desk gets those, of course, but it also gets weird, out-of-left-field questions, and those should be encouraged, too. Questions Answered is universal; FAQ isn't, and may discourage people who think their questions aren't normal enough.</Text>

    <Text>I have Laika; I'll have to check out the others. Thanks!

For my library, I'm not too worried about realistic violence. My middle schoolers tend to self-select; if they find a book that they feel is inappropriate, they bring it back and get a different one.</Text>

    <Text>Yeah, we just don't want to end up with the line of spine labels covering the title, so a historical-adventure needs to be either one or the other.  If is both, we pick one.  </Text>

    <Text>RFID behaves similarly.  The system doesn't turn off all the security tag for a specific item unless that item has been checked out.  For our system, if the item isn't in the database, a message will pop up indicating an error.  As you point out in your question, this is assuming you have some sort of security system already setup. However, if you don't, I imagine patrons could already steal items by just not presenting the items to the circ desk.</Text>

    <Text>Whenever the students ask for Bone and they're all out I say, let's look at our comic book shelf and see what's in!  My students are really into non-fiction so they'll often come up to me and say, "I want a book about the circulatory system" or something else strange like that (which I love, but it is a bit weird).  I also promote them when students have to learn about a topic in class and they want a more engaging way to explore it.  I agree that Max Axiom wouldn't be my first choice just for graphic novels, but I needed new non-fiction also and these killed two birds with one stone.</Text>

    <Text>It's mostly first person, with short interludes between each chapter that are court transcripts from the main character's trial for murder. (That's not a spoiler, you know that's what those transcripts are from the beginning).

It's also an absolutely amazing book.</Text>

    <Text>When it comes to the nanny, try this trick I learned from working in a children's department. As everyone is getting seated pull the nanny aside and ask her to turn off her phone. Wait there looking at her until you see her do this. If she claims it is, and later gets it out and starts up texting, stop whatever you're doing and ask once again that all cell phones be turned off and don't start back up until she does so. 
The trick is to keep doing this every time. And soon she will be shamed into complying but you won’t seem rude because you asked her nicely and in private the first time.

    <Text>For me it is the other way around.  I put the boarding pass in the book so I don't loose it, because I'd never lose a book, but I have lost a boarding pass before.  But it's just in the book so I can find it, not keeping my place.  I use an actual bookmark for a bookmark.  I guess I'm strange that way.  </Text>

    <Text>I agree that just because something is free does not mean it belongs. I disagree with the idea that free books should meet your purchasing parameters.  If you meant your collection development parameters that is something else. But purchasing criteria is also a way of taking a limited resource and knowing how to place it.  Free books do not remove and of the limited resource of your budget and should not be judged on the same ideas as you would use to purchase books. DOes that make sense?</Text>

    <Text>In our policy manual Purchasing policies are Selection policies. They are used interchangeably. I do understand your point, but still believe that just because books are free they should go on the shelf. For instance, I also got a free book from a Christian publisher. It was dismissive of other religions. In a public school setting should I put that on a shelf because it is free? Should it get a pass on content because I didn't pay for it? NO. Same here. The fiction didn't pass criteria to be worthy of purchase. Free or not, crap is crap, not singling out the topic of the original post.</Text>

    <Text>I have been weeding our collection quite heavily and although I did not catalog the Hubbard set, I put them on display with the reviews and wanted to see if they would be of interest to our middle school as they do seem to read a lot of adult fiction. That being said I was more curious about what others thought of the books then anything. The reviews from YALSA were promising. I wondered if the format would be appealing to the young adult crowd.</Text>

    <Text>I have had the set for about four months and no one has asked to check any out. They are not cataloged as I wanted to read one or two and also see if they would be appealing to our YA kids.The display has brought lots of comments from the adults, all about the philosophy of Hubbard. I was more curious to find out if they were popular at all. If no one is reading them, is it because they are for an older crowd or just not well written. It is not a genre I find appealing or I would have read one already. </Text>

    <Text>I agree with you on this one Matt. What I purchase is different then what I will take if I can get it for free. I get a lot of free things given, and although I take everything, I do not put everything into the media center collection. I give to classrooms, teachers and students. We always have a giveaway box that kids love to root through.</Text>

    <Text>I haven't read them. They are being marketed for the middle school and high school crowd, but is that the audience who are interested in them or would be interested in them and I wondered how appropriate they are. One comment mentioned they are racy, although my community is quite liberal. I guess I'll have to read one to find out. I am not familiar with Hubbard's philosophy and probably wouldn't care as long as I think it would be something that would get kids reading. </Text>

    <Text>Not the OP, but thanks for the list. I am trying to expand the fantasy YA offerings at my library, and I just don't know tons about the genre, so this is extremely helpful. Do you have any suggestions for juvenile/middle grade fiction for the younger audience? </Text>

    <Text>From the list above, Kelley Armstrong's Darkest Powers trilogy is VERY popular at my middle school. Everything I've read by Hilari Bell has been appropriate for the younger audience, ditto for Shannon Hale. Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles is a great way to get them started on fractured fairy tales. The Worldweavers series is good for kids who like Harry Potter; also try the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane.

    <Text>LOL. Probably. I am not saying they belong in your library. I freely admit I have never read his work because it does not appeal to me. But to not take it based purely on the author's philosophy does not (in this case as he is not espousing race hating or something similar) strike me a proper. Nobody reading it or wanting it however is a fine reason to not put it out.</Text>

    <Text>I admit, I do take almost anything that's free with the caveat that I can distribute it anyway I choose. Just because I get it doesn't mean I keep it. I look at each gift- if I had unlimited resources would this be something I might buy additionally? Would someone read this? Would this get someone into the library? I don't have the money to buy all the pop culture paperbacks but I love it when students give me Goosebumps or Nancy Drew, or Magic Tree House. I guess we each do what works for our community of readers. We want kids to read and they don't always start by reading great literature.</Text>

    <Text>So maybe if they were in the public library or high school they might get more use? I really thought a few of my mature 8th graders would have at least looked at them...but not a wink or a nod. They were free so it's no monetary loss. I'll hold onto them a little longer and maybe change the location of the display to see if that makes a difference. </Text>

    <Text>We do require a government issued photo ID, and said ID number is part of their record. I don't know how many times I've had someone come in, and want to sign up for a card, swearing they've never had one before.
I look them up, and "Oh, look, you have a $137 fine." But it's not them. Even with the exact same name, address, driver's license number, and everything.  And we're not allowed to argue. We just have to sign them up for a new license to steal our materials.</Text>

    <Text>Aha! I finally found a website that gives an even more detailed, complete answer! The suffix, "-tet," technically refers to a group of musicians, and the suffix "-logy" technically refers to a set of books, without regard to order. Sorry, I was off in another comment. Here's the site: http://phrontistery.info/numbers.html </Text>

    <Text>I just appended a comment to my answer...(should I have edited? Doh!) Either way, I agree that for all practical purposes "quartet" and "tetralogy" may as well be synonymous. The only reason I would go with "tetralogy" over "quartet" is because I'm a language/linguistics snob. :)</Text>

    <Text>One of the things I love about being a middle school librarian is that I have an excuse to read all the great YA stuff that wasn't around when I was that age. I used to get very grumpy and "These kids today don't know how good they have it" about the awesome-looking new stuff that was coming out. Now, though, even if I didn't have this job, I know I can read whatever I want without shame!</Text>

    <Text>Not sure about your location, but have you considered using a local bookstore instead of Borders?  I don't know how far $10 goes online, but supporting locally is a good idea.  If you have a local store, they might even do a deal with you to help your $ go a bit further.  Not exactly an answer to your question, thus the comment.</Text>

    <Text>Yes! I got my first clerk job in a library (moving up from page) for retelling the story of how I found the movie 'Heat' for a patron on these clues: "It has Keifer Sutherland in it and it's about cops." 
Me: "Hmmm...is it Truth or Consequences in NM?" 
Patron: "No"
Me: "Ok, then you're thinking of Val Kilmer and it's Heat"
Patron goes to shelf and returns with movie, nodding head, dumbstruck.

Don't you love it when that stuff happens to you?  :) </Text>

Our district database specialist hasn't updated Destiny from v9.0 to 9.5, which I'm guessing I need. She plans to do the update during the summer, for it'll have to wait until next year. Thanks again for the heads-up though!</Text>

    <Text>Do teens still use thumb drives?  I'd check with some teens to see if these are still "cool" in your area.

I think we can afford this because we have a smaller group of participants (about 20-30 teens last year).</Text>

They have that Carryout for Literacy program too (not sure if it's still running or if it's for all Pizza Huts everywhere, but...) &amp; I think we just put on the bottom of all the fliers something along the line of "Sponsored by Pizza Hut, somebody else, somebody else, etc." </Text>

    <Text>I'm wondering how they're defining "baby" books. Because most of the easy readers and juvenile fiction are fairly thin, barring the huge Rowlings, Funkes, Paolinis etc. which take up more space for their numbers than they should. And large print books, while not noticeably larger than the regular version (is it the paper? or smaller margins?), couldn't be mistaken for materials for the pre-K crowd.</Text>

I like the Logbook that lets me see what I have done, useful for end of month reports, and the automatic cleaning of completed tasks every day lets you have the joy of seeing what you've accomplished along with what you need to do, which I am finding to be a great motivator.</Text>

    <Text>Stephan, I'd agree with that for SF/F worlds and can't think of any specific non-SF/F counterexamples, but I imagine there are sets of historical fiction or mysteries or romances with overlapping characters and settings that would be described as "The _____ Books" but not "The ______verse."</Text>

    <Text>For what it's worth, I've always called all the Sherlock Holmes stories, the "Sherlock Holmes stories," not any sort of -verse. It's probably a matter of what you're accustomed to, when it comes to -verse. I'm a historical fiction person first and foremost, so I normally just say "books" even when talking about what is properly a "universe."</Text>

    <Text>A reasonable answer from a reasonable person, but theft isn't about reading a book, it's about having a book.  Or, in some cases, selling the book.  I imagine it's like most crimes.  The mindset is that the person feels he or she deserves ______ and will do _______ to have it.

And then you get the people who do it just for hell of it.</Text>

    <Text>I think Foggyone hit it on the nail: the motivations of such people who steal books they can have for free will not be deterred by much, because they're not always rational motivations. You can always waive fees for staff, or allow them to check out more books - that might deter some, but if a person is hell-bent on stealing a book... I guess that's when you rely on technology (cameras, gates) to stop them. And/or a two-person system in cataloging, so that one person enters the book and the other checks that it's been done properly: checks and balance system, you know? Other than that... ? </Text>

    <Text>I had to do a background check to teach Sunday School at my church.  Makes me wonder why it's not required for librarians, particularly those working with children.  There's definitely a level of trust that the kids put in their librarian and with trust comes the potential for abuse.  Don't want to believe it could happen, but . . .</Text>

    <Text>I'm intrigued by what answers come out of this question as I was really psyched to start this series after seeing "The Hogfather".  I found a very helpful Discworld layout that puts the relevant series together and started with "Colour of Magic" but couldn't get past the first chapter.  I really want to get into this series, but may start with a different sub-series of it.

Here's the layout link (I believe I originally found this on this forum):

    <Text>Oh right, that's a classic, too! YA Librarian works well in-house but often confuses outsiders, I find. And Young Adult Librarian offers similar challenges to those of Teen Librarian - do we only serve young adults? Are we young adults? (In some cases, of course, the answer is Yes to both.)</Text>

    <Text>Oh right, that's a classic, too! Thanks. YA Librarian is short-n-sweet in-house but often confuses outsiders, I find. And "Young Adult Librarian" offers similar challenges to those of "Teen Librarian" - conveys an area of specialty, which is helpful but can be confusing if the librarian serves more than YAs, and also there's the occasional puzzlement over whether *we* are the young adults in question (sometimes we are, of course). </Text>

    <Text>"Yay, it's the Book Lady!" That's true, kids generally come up with their own handy and very workable tags for us. 

I still think Youth Librarian and Youth Services Librarian are harder for people to hear than your other examples - it's that pesky "th/s" or "th/l" combination, plus that the combo of words is less familiar and not as anticipated by the hearer. 

But I like your point that adding "Services" to the title, while lengthening it, clears up some of the confusion.</Text>

    <Text>Our library is in aged care and here in Australia there is a law that requires all workers, that may come into unsupervised contact with vunerable older people, to have recent police checks. I think that the words actually used is "within reasonable doubt". Basically that means that I, as the librarian who rarely leaves the 'office,' have to have a police clearance as occasionally (twice in the 5 years I have been here) I do visit aged care facilities where I have been wondering around on my own without supervision. All volunteers in schools and aged care have to have recent police checks too.</Text>

    <Text>If only people realized all that we librarians / library staff know about them.. maybe they'd keep their big mouths shut, and be more polite...
Oh. Wait. I just remembered that as a librarian, I'm committed to protecting their privacy. Rats, lol</Text>

And it's so fun watching them grow up, and go from Easy readers, to JF, to YA, and finally.. to the adult section. Sigh.</Text>

    <Text>At our library, there is a security camera near the staff entrance.  However, that's not to say that someone with a large bag couldn't sneak something out.  It's really awful to think that a staff member would want to do something like this to patrons AND to their own coworkers.  You're providing free materials to the community (which includes the library staff) and by stealing materials, you're stealing from your community.  If that doesn't move you, then you shouldn't be working in a library.</Text>

    <Text>It's hard to say since not many scholars and researchers feel the need to provide analyses of current contemporary literature. I was able to locate a few articles regarding "The Shadow of the Wind" via EBSCO MasterFILE Premier but not enough to supply for an entire class. The majority of our databases provided book reviews, but if I find something more substantial, I'll make an answer post. </Text>

    <Text>Many libraries would be reluctant to point security cameras at staff members for privacy/Big Brother concerns even if they could afford cameras to begin with. And remember that library staff members could be anywhere on the premises in/out of the building during their shift. I sometimes have to walk around the perimeter of the building or out into the parking lot to keep an eye on situations. Also any camera that can watch an employee will also watch your patrons, young or old. Lots of problems with this! </Text>

    <Text>The first one that comes to mind is, for girls, The Princess Diaries series. The shorter sections make it a bit easier to read, and it's easier to come back to if attention wanes. The Gregor series, by Suzanne Collins, maybe. I find it useful to find out WHY they hate to read. Anything popular (Twilight, Harry Potter, etc), and/or anything they've seen the movie adaptation of is going to be a bit of an easier sell.</Text>

    <Text>I worked the Ready Reference desk at a public library.  When people called in and said 'My taxes pay your salary" I'd tell them "Well, I need a raise!".  That usually shut them up.  For the really insulting ones, I'd hang up on them.  (Obviously they put too much emphasis on the 'servant' part of Civil Servant and not enough on the 'civil'!)</Text>

    <Text>Not disagreeing that it was a pretty good movie and it *did* stay true enough to the book (except the ending! GAH!). It could have been awful, but the book was *sooooo* much better in comparison...I'm not saying it was a bad movie, just that it didn't do *Watchmen* justice, IMHO...still I bought the DVD, so I will be watching it again. And who knows? Maybe it'll be more fun now that I won't be anticipating so many things that got cut...</Text>

    <Text>Or you can buy two books for the same price - maybe one or both titles are "I'm not sure about this one" titles. If one - or both - turn out to be very popular, then you can buy a better quality copy, or buy another copy of one or both if they both hit. You can always do some work on the cover of the cheaper copies with whatever your favorite brand of plastic covering is to help it hold up a bit better.</Text>

    <Text>I focused more on the "battle for Middle-Earth" aspects than the "band of brothers" stuff than you did, I suppose. However, I do think that the major battles and the Fellowship's quest are really integral to each other. I agree, some of the character-changes annoyed me (read: Faramir, Eowyn...), but the fact that they captured what for me was the essence of that battle for Middle-Earth, rather than tossing it for some post-modernistic, politically correct idiocy totally made up for whatever momentary annoyance...Gah, I could so easily write a 10-page essay on the LotR books and movies.:)</Text>

    <Text>Errm, I guess I'm biased, but I'm curious as to these "stupid ways" you reference. Do you think maybe you could clarify in an edit at all? And are you talking about the theatricals or extended editions, or both? If you're willing to give up a few hours, I'd suggest watching some of the commentaries on the extendeds. I understood a lot of the decisions they made(plot- and otherwise)after I heard them explained. I didn't necessarily like, or agree, with them, but I did respect it a lot more. If you *want* to like them it might be worth it.</Text>

    <Text>Jean, I know that they don't need anything translated because they don't ask me the question in French. I know that "Parlez-vous francais?" is the one sentence that a lot of Americans know in English (well, that and "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?", courtesy of "Lady Marmalade"), but my point is that people will hear "French" and say whatever they know in French -whatever it means. I appreciate that they give it a try (I really do!), but asking a native French person whether they know French is really pointless -- and when it happens as often as it has to me, it also gets annoying.</Text>

    <Text>BA Davis-Howe, talking in French is what I usually do, as well as asking them when they've learned French and whether they've been to France, because I really do appreciate people (Americans especially, who do not have a lot of opportunities at school to learn foreign languages) trying to talk with me in French. The "glare" part, I do not say, but that's how I feel. Like I said in the 2nd paragraph, I do PR, when I am being asked very stereotypical questions (about being French or being a librarian, etc...) . I talk with them, I see where they come from AND I tell them how things really are.  </Text>

    <Text>Where I work, we have self-checkout (which we are encouraged to use, as the 'patrons would view us like one of them') and the employees pay fines as well as the patrons (thanks to a board desicion about 8-10 years ago).  Our admin has 'made allowances' for the materials that somehow don't make it through the checkout kiosk.We do, though have security gates and guards that compare the checkout slip with the materials the patron has when leaving, and if the alarm goes off, they ask the patron to empty their bags.

    <Text>I understood a lot of the changes were made because the books are unfilmable otherwise. I don't really have a problem with movies 1 and 3(even though I wish Glorfindel could have stayed in!). 
The second movie had so many changes that were at the minimum, unneeded. I absolutely detested the way that they changed Faramir, both in his treatment of Smeagol and the fact that they lost the contrast between Boromir and him. 
I also wasn't a huge fan of the elves coming to Helm's Deep(which was itself drastically changed). I didn't mind the additional focus on the war though.</Text>

I actually had the biggest problems with the third one though because in the theatrical they completely left out Sauron's lieutenant etc. and all of the Shire-happenings...Ditto on Faramir btw...I agree that they might have been able to make TTT work without changing as much, but the changes they made worked overall. I'm glad they made changes they knew they could implement and make awesome rather than staying uber-purist and making unwatchable crap...Uggh, I said in another comment, I could totally write a 10-page essay on LotR books v. movies.

    <Text>I loved both the book and the movies and thought the movies were a great adaptation (well, the extended versions at least. I have not bothered watching the theatrical versions since I went to see them when they were released). Regarding Faramir: watch the movies with the cast's commentary, as they talk about the changes that were made and why they were made. It might not make you like them anyways, but understanding why they changed what they did might help :) </Text>

    <Text>I'm just guessing you work at a public library.  I'd be surprised if you had an archival mission.  I think the best part about the public library is working hard to get the books that your community wants on the shelves and into their hands.  What I would hope is that your selectors can use what you withdraw as a basis for what should or should not be purchased in the future. 

I think its less a disregard for the value of the materials and more of a regard for service for the community.  Or maybe I'm just justifying my penchant for weeding.  </Text>

    <Text>I thought of some more - Marcia Clark, or Chris Darden, or Robert Shapiro, or any lawyer associated with the O.J. Simpson trial wrote a book on being a lawyer in that case.   Chief - by Daryl Gates (recently passed) LAPD Police Chief fun stories about being a police officer.  (I'm placing myself with these)  Bill Clinton's autobiography, Hillary Clinton's autobiography - both focused on their careers as lawyers and in politics.   </Text>

    <Text>I have fairly limited tolerance for retconning (Retroactive Continuity: changing what happened after the fact), especially in genre books. In order for invented worlds or future worlds to be compelling, they need to stick to their own internal rules (good essay on that topic here: http://www.hbook.com/magazine/articles/2010/jan10_cashore.asp). She pulls a major retcon for *Children of God* and it's a problem for me. (Reminder to myself and others: let's keep this thread spoiler-free.)</Text>

    <Text>We get this (at a 2-year academic library) for nursing students. Problem is, that with the APA stile guidelines, credentials aren't listed, so you never know whether anything has been written by a nurse or not. And due to the nature of the information, anything less than 3 years old would be unacceptable, which means no one gets a chance to be famous enough to be remembered before their work is out of date. I feel where you are coming from!</Text>

    <Text>I loved "The Carpet Makers"! It's kind of like "Holes" for adults, in that you assume the seemingly random plots must be connected somehow, but it's not obvious how until the big reveal at the end! </Text>

    <Text>It has to be Fairly current (2-3 years), By a person who works in that field directly, and it has to be ABOUT working in that field, specifically.  They pick a career, or two, before hand, and come in with the request.  It's usually "Lawyer" or "Pediatrician" or "elementary teacher".  We have books about working in libraries, oddly, and the "all creatures great and small" books. We are a small library though, so the selection is limited.
Yes, they are high school, usually 9th-10th grade.
Occasionally one wants something really odd, like Trash Collector, and I  really don't know what to say!!

    <Text>Yes, we're implementing hard-sell right now in my system with conversion to RFID. Many patrons are irritated, even angered by this constant pushing to use the self-checks. Others seem sad to no longer have the chance to chat with staff as they used to do. It seems like poor customer service to me. I might feel differently if the self-check machines and RFID were actually reducing our workload, but the service model being forced on staff right now has our holds and other work piling up. I am surprised by the uniform positivity shown above - has no-one else seen the downside to these changes?</Text>

    <Text>I think they must have had enough complaints that they changed it for later editions? The copies I've seen have all been normal. Unless that's the way to identify the rare mint limited edition?</Text>

    <Text>I already suggested Paula Danzinger but she dismissed them. Encyc Brown too young looking. Like I said she is very picky. I am ordering the other Regarding.... books as she wants all of them.She is more interested in the multi-faceted illustrations and letters within the text than the mystery.  She has me baffled why some books work and why others she dismisses. She comes in every day and goes through the next pile that I have pulled for her.</Text>

    <Text>Ditto about the P&amp;Ps.  Watching the BBC miniseries was like reading the book, without having to wonder what the clothing looked like.  Even much of the dialog was taken from the book (which only makes sense, given that one of the resons I love the book is that I can "hear" the characters speaking.)</Text>

    <Text>We had a lady come in to use the copy machine and set her purse on the floor. She ended up walking out of the library without it, and we noticed it so we took it over behind the Circulation desk. The purse was gaping open and she had a bunch of cash stuck in her open wallet, plainly in view for anybody that could have walked by. Since she wasn't a patron, and was actually from out-of-town, we didn't have a way to immediately contact her. She ended up coming back in a couple of hours later, hysterical, looking for her purse. We also felt good getting it back to her.</Text>

    <Text>That was going to be my answer. The library is this repository for this new technology called books. And the library lets you use them for free. I mean you can't keep them but outside of a few insane individuals (Most of whom are on this very website) who reads a book a second time.  </Text>

    <Text>Why are they making copies?  I'm lucky if students around here even remember to write down the info for a citation...they certainly don't spend money to make a copy of the title page and verso (which is where we had been writing the Dewey number). 

In case anybody is still following this and wondering...we've stopped writing it in.  :-)</Text>

    <Text>I'm wondering, too. If people are making a copy of an article for their own personal educational purposes, they have fair use on their side.  If they are instructors putting copies into course packets, that's another issue and one I, thankfully, don't have to deal with and can't answer.  I would think the Copyright Compliance Center would be the ones to tell you when to report to them, since you would have some kind of license contract with them, I would think.</Text>

    <Text>I would definitely talk to the teacher, invite him or her to walk through the assignment as if a student.  If the teacher won't come to you, is it possible to take a laptop or something to the teacher and show them what the kids have available?

Good idea about finding the same article and showing it to the teacher in both formats.  Maybe stress PDF over HTML documents (when available) for the kids printing, since it's like photocopying the page.</Text>

    <Text>My library often gets people who want to buy our copy of the newspaper.  And someone occasionally asks if they can buy our books.  I look at them as if they're nuts.  "Well, you discard books, don't you?"  Not books people want.  Duh.  Well, I usually don't say the "duh" part.  And then we get the Amish folks who come to us to look up a book on a particular subject.  We find a book they want and send them to the local used bookstore who will order it for them.</Text>

    <Text>True, true, but if the parent lets the fines slide until the kid is over 18, or whatever age they manage to take their library card back so they can use it themselves, it's hard to tell the kid that they can't use it because they're over limit, and come back with money from the parent. Usually the kid, assuming it's not a hugely insane amount, sucks it up and pays it off with their own money.</Text>

    <Text>Our library has a "Read Away your Fines" program during the summer for kids under 18. For every 15min they read (in the library - usually within view of the desk), their fines are reduced by $2. It is very popular, especially in the low income area libraries. </Text>

    <Text>I agree with the time limit on the computer. I understand that the constant coughing is irritating (I can't standing people sniffling, myself. I think that past the age of 5, anyone is able to know when they need a tissue!); however the use of the library is open to anyone... so you might be able to get her with the computer usage. Are there a lot of people using the computers? If so, then start a policy about time usage, and hopefully that will at least limit the amount of time she's there. Other than that... </Text>

    <Text>It seems like using ALL of those labels would be a bit of overkill in a small library - expecially something like "realistic fiction". If every single thing is labelled, it's much harder to spot what you want. Have you noticed kids asking more for a specific genre or type of book? </Text>

    <Text>Thank you for all the great answers. I'll definitely see if I can meet with the teacher. Being in a Public Library sometimes it is difficult because we have students who come from so many different schools but this school is nearby. I'm also going to have a class in the fall about using the databases and catalog and try to promote it through the schools as well.</Text>

    <Text>This reminds me of a kid I was helping as a Librarian. He had to read a fantasy, and was excited about it.  I gave him a time travel one, teacher declared it no good, not a fantasy.  We got him The Book of Three, teacher says no good.  Finally I called the teacher and asked what she meant by fantasy - had to have a dragon or a unicorn in it.  Seriously.  By the time the kid came back for the Hobbit (dragon) he was sick of the whole assignment.</Text>

    <Text>As far as I know most library programs do require you to reach a certain typing speed before you can graduate. I have no several students in programs who have been trying to reach the typing test right before graduation. I think it has to do with the amount of data entry/internet searching that gets done in libraries now a days. </Text>

    <Text>well, My mom, who is a children's librarian, told me about it. I then read "What Would Dewey Do" a few times, which was the only Unshelvedbook the library had. Once I got internet access at home, I started reading it and keeping up with it. Then, about 6 months ago, I got a job as a children's/YA librarian in the next town over. It's really quite simple...</Text>

    <Text>I do like the idea of paying in advance for the fax, but we try to have the fax go through first before asking them for payment. Also, in relation to the Circulation Desk (where they pay for the fax), the fax machine is rather far away and patrons could easily go out the front door without paying. I'm not saying they all do, thank goodness, but it is a little worrisome.</Text>

    <Text>I would ask if we can do this, but because the Reference Desk (where the fax machine is located) is on the second floor and the Circulation Desk (where the patron pays) is on the first floor, it puts the patron in a more inconvenient situation of having to walk upstairs to fax, downstairs to pay, and then back upstairs to retrieve their paperwork (IF they don't forget about it). But thank you for the suggestion. :)</Text>

    <Text>Actually, we have print management software, in a manner of speaking. :) Our copiers have a scanner that scans the patron's library barcode and deducts the amount used for printing, either $0.10 per B/W page or $1 per color page. If they don't have the amount on the card, then the patron has to pay in cash $0.15 per B/W or $1.10 per color page. The same is used for our printers too, so in that retrospect we're covered. :)</Text>

    <Text>That's something that gets us here, too.  People owe us books, or huge fines, but there is no restriction on computer usage.  What incentive is there, then, for them to return books or pay off the fines?  At least now the county libraries share a computer system so folks can't just go to another library and run up fines there, too.</Text>

    <Text>From my point of view, it was appropriate for him to leave out the "Wales" story thread entirely, because his storytelling is about familiar worlds that AREN'T our own. But that and the emphasis on the war made a...less-than-faithful book to movie translation.</Text>

    <Text>Thanks, I took a look, and part one deals mainly with American universities, and part 2 helps you find libraries and book stores. Unfortunately, neither are very helpful in a Canadian junior high school. Part 3 was good, as it helps you download books for free, so that will be awesome, thanks!</Text>

    <Text>True.  The story itself morphed, but I think I liked that the mood of the story and the characters' depictions stayed close to book.  IMO, of course.  I do still wish that the ending of the movie was elaborated on a bit more.  It's difficult to understand the exact relationship between Howl and Calcifer without reading the book.</Text>

    <Text>Why not accept money for faxes at the reference desk on an exact change basis. Patrons lacking exact change could get smaller bills at the Circulation Desk. Alternatively, are internal phones located at each desk? 

I would strongly encourage having patrons pay upfront. It is so much easier to refund money than to get burnt by people running out on the bill. </Text>

    <Text>The Fight Club book and movie were as nearly identical as is ever translated to the average watcher.  If they had continued further with the ending blurb in the book- it would never have achieved its cult status.  It would have been thoroughly riddled for looking like there will be a sequel.  I ponder whether Palahniuk intentionally wrote it out of the screenplay because he knew he would always be hounded for a sequel?</Text>

    <Text>Heck, our copiers are so backward they don't even accept paper money. When we got the new ones a few years ago, whoever picked them out apparently didn't consider that some people copy more than one or two pages worth of material. Or else they were too cheap to resist. Bright side, they also don't remember anything anyone's copied, so no security problem there. One of those times high tech is not better.</Text>

    <Text>I don't think it's that steep of a learning curve from an employee perspective. I am not privy to all the ins and outs of admin, so I'm not sure. But as far as the machines, you just swipe a card and punch in a price, then use your cash registar as usual hitting "debit" instead of cash. Often the machines come with simple enough instructions that if you just follow them you are fine.

    <Text>While I agree with you about "retarded" and "gay," I don't think "pimp" carries the quite the same connotation, partially because I can't think of any occasion where it would be used as an insult.  Sure, as a compliment it certainly lacks class, but we're not moderators of class.  Would I correct my elementary students if they used it outside of the "pimp my ride" context? Of course. But I think comparing it to the b-words or n-word is a little much.</Text>

    <Text>I can think of a couple scenarios where I might like to use "pimp" as an insult, so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. The situation is reversed from the b-words. Those are actually legitimate words, but have gotten negative meanings in colloquial use. "Pimp" has a legitimate nasty meaning, but has a positive colloquial meaning...That makes it more interesting. My standard of comparison is that if the b-words are used even correctly, the use is usually punished, or at least discouraged. Therefore, the use of "pimp," even in a harmless context should be similarly discouraged. Oh well.</Text>

    <Text>...The two meanings are inextricably linked, as far as I know. A pimp is someone who solicits clients for a prostitute, sometimes against the prostitute's will by leveraging a drug addiction or other coercive means. The prostitutes are made to look as attractive as possible in order to garner the best price. The pimp him/herself is also perceived to be flamboyantly dressed in popular culture. Hence the title "Pimp My Ride"--&gt; "make my car as flamboyantly attractive as possible." Maybe the connection's not obvious anymore, but that was my understanding...Gah, another too-long comment.</Text>

    <Text>Hmmmm, I don't know if I would go as far as "inextricably".  In terms of prostitution the term "pimping" does not refer to dressing them flamboyantly, it refers spefically to the offering of their services.  I've also seen a few online resources that refer to the slang term "pimping" (as in excessive customization) as a corruption of "primping" (don't know if this is also the origin of the other pimp?)</Text>

    <Text>Primp and pimp aren't related. To clarify though, I consider the people who run brothels to be pimps. I realize what the (gag) profession, specifically entails, but according to everything I've read, trying to make the "merchandise" attractive, either with flamboyant clothing or whatever, is another aspect of "solicitation." Maybe I'm dealing with the definition too broadly? I'm guessing that's where MTV got the title "Pimp My Ride." "Primp" is a close fit, but...would MTV miss an opportunity to be a little more shocking? Still, just my understanding.:)</Text>

    <Text>I would disagree to an extent that when used in the correct context the usage isn't punished. When talking linguistics, it's very, very common to hear about how words are bastardizations of various languages. Likewise, when discussing medieval weapons, a hand and a half sword is commonly referred to as a bastard sword. </Text>

    <Text>Chances are that the cardholder would be your patron, wouldn't it? The name on the card would match the name on the library account. 
These days, new credit cards have chips in them and only require a pin number, like a debit card. Then you don't have to check signatures. By the time your library acquires these features, you wouldn't have to worry about that. I think your biggest concern would be cost and system compatibility. Your staff will have no problem learning new procedures.</Text>

    <Text>Yes, but even in those contexts, an *elementary schooler* would probably get in trouble. The odds of that happening are slim, but there's a reason my veterinarian parents didn't call a female dog a "bitch" in front of me for a long time. Not because there's anything wrong with that, it's even technically correct, but if I'd ever repeated it, it would have been "bad," by virtue of my being a little kid. No one'd blink now that I'm a little older, though.</Text>

    <Text>There are 29 computers (31 or 32 next year) and I can see them all tiled on one screen. I click on the one(s) I want to take a closer look at and they open in a new window. 
It's pretty easy to keep an eye on it - I know that I've missed students going on their email, or maybe chatting, but you know... I'm not a cop either. 
The good thing is that I have 2 computers on my desk, so I have got Remote Desktop on the Mac while I do my work on the PC; if I didn't have the PC, it would be harder to keep an eye on all the computers while having other windows open as well. </Text>

    <Text>Having a procedure for this kind of incident is essential for all staff to know what to do when this situation arises, and who should do it. Our specific policy is one verbal warning, then banning from Internet use for a set amount of time (3-6 months, I think) after a second offense.

Also, communication is key - perhaps giving your director a quick note or email with the date of the incident and who spoke to the patron, so that any necessary follow-up can be taken.</Text>

We did have very strict usage policies, and it really helped in determining who was really violating policies and who was watching pop videos.  Out of respect of patrons' privacy, we didn't just sit there and watch what they were doing, but we could use it to check if there was reason for concern, and our computer lab sign-up software allowed staff to shut down any computer at any time.  </Text>

    <Text>We used to just hold the money in our hot little hands while the fax went through.  It was very time-consuming, mostly because we only had a tiny little fax machine with almost no memory.  We often had to call someone to the desk for backup while a regular staffer was tending to the fax.  We also charged a large flat rate -- $7 per fax.  It encouraged people to use local businesses instead, I supposed . . .</Text>

    <Text>Ok, so can you hook your scanner from the main checkout machine into a laptop and scan into a txt file from there? Do an end around if the tricorder deosn't work? It isn't as snazzy or easy but it'll get the job done, that's what we went to and put the whole thing on a tall cart so it's easy to scan. </Text>

    <Text>Yeah, I put genre labels on our paperbacks, and I sometimes run into the cross-genre toughies.  I generally put the sticker that it seems to be the "most" - if it's a paranormal romance, for example, who will be more interested in this, the romance readers or the fantasy readers?  Where would more people notice it and maybe pick it up?</Text>

    <Text>Okay, I certainly get that but I don't get why some titles are catalogued as fiction and then others are catalogued in 811 when they fit the above criteria.I suppose it just depends on the cataloger. I was looking for something else less arbitrary.</Text>

    <Text>Any other clues?  This sounds like something I would read, but it isn't ringing a bell based on above.  Particular era of English history?  (does it mention which King, for example, or the status of the Church of England/Catholicism)?  Is Nicholas a noble, a royal, a commoner, a knight?  What does the bad guy want - land, money, power, her?</Text>

    <Text>Our library system has the same thing--an online payment for fines/fees.  There's a $5.00 minimum, though, because of credit card co. fees, I'm guessing.  The credit/debit portion is only available online, although it does clear automatically from the Circulation system. The area I'm in is comprised mainly of small libraries that wouldn't be able to afford any sort of new equipment for swiping credit cards, so the regional system opted for an online-only version. </Text>

    <Text>Yeah, sorry if I came off as a jerk at all. Just to clarify, part of what I hated about books in elementary school was "whininess" and "touchy-feely stuff," so the talk of longing for stability &amp;co. would have been an instant turn-off, even if there was a happy/funny stuff too. I might have been willing to give the running away before being abandoned one a chance though. "Lucky" looks like it might strike a balance between emotionality and action. Might have to write it down for when my cousin gets older...</Text>

    <Text>Ditto. It's a valid question to pose anyone who thinks they understand the English language. Our language is ridiculous, but most people don't notice because they grew up speaking it. I applaud anyone who begins to question its inconsistencies. Bravo, Sir Travis!</Text>

    <Text>I agree with Anne that it can be arbitrary. I think whatever you decide, you should put the books where they get the most use or where they're more accessible to your patrons. Since you mention the ones in regular fiction are used a lot, I would tend to shelve them there.</Text>

    <Text>Just a follow up. This incredible reader handed me a wonderful thank you yesterday for being the best librarian she ever knew and for finding such great books for her this past year. She can't wait to see what I am going to suggest next year....and she is looking forward to the new Jacky Faber adventure coming out in September. 

So thank you all for your help...I have a big stack to read and hopefully find some for her for next year.</Text>

    <Text>I like this, mainly for the simplicity of it. Because as you said, how do you explain that one food is ok and another not? How do you enforce it? Keeping it in a separate area would be the easiest way to offer food/beverages without having any bad consequences IN the library itself. </Text>

    <Text>not sure how you'd use "the majority of librarians" in a sentence without making it sound like you're talking about the majority of librarians. Or even if you're thinking more "the people of librarians" or "the masses of librarians" (which might actually work) but having an expression that automatically has 'the' included is just difficult.</Text>

    <Text>I'm not sure! As I recall, the shop was inside the security gate. Presumably, they could get books from the stacks, and bring them inside the shop, but I don't know that anyone would have bothered since the shop was at least two hallways and a round trip elevator ride away from the books. The "separate room" idea also cuts down on the noise.</Text>

    <Text>I think I'd argue against this one on three counts.  1) It's oxymoronic.  2) It implies that they books are "classics" when they haven't earned that status.  These are like pop art.  Yes, they may come to symbolize an era, but they aren't there yet.  Stodgy of me, perhaps, and over-thinking things a bit. 3) It doesn't clearly represent the transformational nature of the work.</Text>

    <Text>"neoclassic (adj.): of, relating to, or constituting a revival or adaptation of the classical especially in literature, music, art, or architecture"...That said, I don't really see the problem...The mashup books are definitely *adaptations* of the classics. They're just very disrespectful adaptations. However, that's a stretch, and it might be misleading to people who are familiar with the "Neoclassical periods."...But it's still a funny twist on the meaning of the word...:)</Text>

    <Text>I must have picked up the cold/dry shortcut from another staff member over the years :o) The policy explains ok foods as food limited to snacks or wrapped items which are consumed individually and non-alcoholic beverages in securely lidded containers or spill-resistant containers. Foods that aren't ok are open plates of food and messy, crumbly, sticky and/or odorous foods or snacks.

    <Text>Was trying to find something online.  I figure we do enough statistical gathering in libraries that schools would have to have something similar.  Haven't found anything helpful yet, but came across a misleading statement in a Kindle v. book argument that I thought was funny.  Talking about replacing textbooks with e-books, the author laments that they're at least 20 years out of date!  And then you look at the footnote and see that it's a report on the average age of public school library books.  A wee bit different prospect there.</Text>

    <Text>Other Apollo-era astronauts with autobiographies are Eugene Cernan &amp; Michael Collins.  There are some Shuttle astronauts with books now, although I'm not sure how "current" they'd be considered, with the Shuttle program being 25+ years old.  Mae Jemison, Sally Ride, and Thomas Jones all have memoirs/autobiographies out now.

Not "contemporary" but with a lot of current books on the subject, two of the Mercury 13 pilots have written memoirs, Jerrie Cobb and Bernice Steadman.</Text>

I get porn popups on my computer when I'm google'ing and trying to find answers for people on the support forums I help out in.  It's well known that some black hat SEO spammers will set up forwarders for common keywords and phrases.  Google for a common Windows error, click the link, and you'll quickly discover that a Sexy Sue really knows how to solve that BSOD error if you know what I mean.</Text>

    <Text>Oh yeah, I do tell them during the beginning of year library orientation. They also know that they are being monitored in the same way during their technology class (the school has 3 computers labs aside from the library one). Being in a school setting, with minors, privacy is a consideration but definitely makes way when pit against safety concern, which I know is not as easily defined or explained in a public library setting. </Text>

    <Text>I did re-catalog quite a few books into the non-fiction section (what a pain to get those "library use only" stickers off the books!). I weeded a couple titles only, as the section is fairly well set in that way. It did free up some space, which helped re-organized my whole library - it's all pretty now :) </Text>

    <Text>True! I am just talking about my children's reference section where there is nothing that is truly irreplaceable or valuable. Upstairs in the adult department they would be less likely to loan many of the materials from the reference department as we cannot replace them. A lot of that is local history and other things we don't have in the youth collection. </Text>

    <Text>Yes, at the end of this school year, despite the fact that they'd been returning books in the same spot ALL YEAR and despite the sign saying "Return Books Here", my assistant had to make a bright orange sign saying "Returning a book? Leave it here!" with a big arrow. Because otherwise they would just stand at the circulation desk, holding their book, looking dumb.

    <Text>Sarah, I've got that too, a bit. I haven't made a new sign yet, because usually the kid's friends will point him/her to the right spot. Stephan, I have that too. Because I'm closed when classes come in to use the computers, I post, EVERY MORNING, the hours during which I'll be closed. Well, I inevitably get a "Is the library open?" even though the kid looked at the sign AND their watch. I guess they can't read time. I also get begging looks through the window when there's a class AND a "Closed" sign on the door. Amazing how many people who can't read still want in! :D :P</Text>

    <Text>Maybe style it like a progressive dinner, begin with a scenario and select a clue leading to the next clue, which could be drawn from a number of possibilities and that would lead to the next choice...like "choose your own adventure".  No real scripting involved, we've done this type of activity for young adults and it's been well received.</Text>

This is what I found in an article by Betsy Hearne who says, "Certainly a story can be culturally confusing, as was Yukio Tsuchiya's The Faithful Elephants: A True Story of Animals, People, and War  (1988), which turned out to be a legend, and a complex one at that (Kawabata and Vandergrift, 1998, pp.6-12). " I did find out Faithful Elephants, a story written by Yukio Tsuchiya was originally published in Japan in 1951.</Text>

I didn't think it would have been appropriate for 6-10 year olds, at least not without a lot of discussion. I wouldn't have been able to discuss it without crying!   It would be interesting to find out more information about it being a legend. I'd better find a box of tissues and check the public library catalog. Thanks Georgeanne! </Text>

    <Text>I've never liked that book because I do feel the boy was abusive and a user, even at the end. It seems to me to promote the idea that a parent shouldn't consider him/herself at all, and I think kids who believe that often end up expecting the world to give them everything. But I've had one person tell me he liked the book because it was like that with him and his son, and I hurt for him just thinking about it.</Text>

    <Text>I wouldn't say that I was disturbed, though I can see how one could have that reaction.  The cage in her bedroom brings up images of abuse, and the grandmother's farm had an isolationist/cultish feel to it.  I'll have to ask Christi if she had that reaction.  I will say that I have been reading a lot of YA fantasy, which may be one reason why I took everything at face value (that and I am rather gullible.)  I really hesitate to say much more because I don't want to leak spoilers.</Text>

    <Text>I've got some shelvers who can't alphabetize 40 books on a truck without mistakes, so I can't see them shelving them correctly in the stacks, because that's generally more detail oriented. And more distracting, since they're not arranging quietly at the truck before heading out. If they put L before K when they're not distracted, I don't think they'll put Mal after Mak when they are.</Text>

    <Text>We have this exact same problem.. large print shelved in the regular collection, etc.
The worst is biographies shelved in fiction. The shelf labels say "AB - Ein" or whatever, shelved by subject.  And they will all ultimately end up under Bs in the fiction section. -sigh-
It doesn't help that our shelvers are volunteers. The youngest is 78.  Maybe they need new glasses?</Text>

    <Text>I can't really answer your question, but as a student who has taken multiple AP tests, I don't think there's much point in updating unless there's a major change in format or content, and those are pretty rare. Some of the other AP kids at my school actually tried to buy them used online every year because they were cheaper.</Text>

    <Text>Yes!  The patrons of a library I used to work at would pull the door repeatedly (it was locked, we were closed) and slam on it to get our attention.  We'd get there and they'd yell through the door, "ARE YOU OPEN?" Whereas, if they looked a foot to their left, the hours were posted right on the door.  This resulted in getting 3 foot by 3 foot day-glo yellow signs with the words CLOSED on one side and OPEN on the other to be put in the front doors.  What did they do then?  Went around to the back of the building and banged on the office door!  Oy-vay!</Text>

Except for the Green Slime episode, everything that made Howl funny went right out the window, which is odd because Miyazaki has done slithery characters before and I know he does them well.</Text>

    <Text>"those books do not check out until the end of the time period, but people can pre-reserve them"

Do you mean you have books that have already been cataloged that sit visible to patrons but they can't have them until they're all ready to go?</Text>

    <Text>The books are cataloged and sitting in the library, but they don't circulate for 4-5 weeks. Since the books don't circulate immediately, people can hold/reserve (not "pre-reserve", I guess, just "reserve") them. 

Please note that I inherited the above system, hate, it, and want to let the books check out the second they are on the shelves. However, we don't buy that many books which means I'd likely end up with an empty shelf at times, and some annoyed users saying, "Where are the new books?" </Text>

    <Text>Actually, it's not the patrons complaining about the 4-5 week wait (there are, as I've said, some who realllly like this system), it's me! I want more foot traffic, more spontaneous interest in the library, a chance to woo new people into the library. 

But... I also don't want to alienate those who DO like the existing system, so I'm struggling to find the balance between tight fisted (4-5 week wait) and free reign (immediate circulation). </Text>

    <Text>Yes, I think I need to train my patrons (small staff of researchers) to be less rigid, and not expect books to arrive at any particular time. Being less rigid is also easier for me since, like you say, some weeks I have time to process new books, and others I don't. Thanks for the ideas and encouragement! </Text>

    <Text>My passive-aggressive answer is: Make it a point to re-shelve/clean/shelf-read right behind the guy (loudly) whenever he's on one of his important calls.  Wear something particularly batty and be sure to be seen by the person on the other end.  Make it a point to interrupt every call to let him know he is disturbing the environment.

We have people that are always looking for a "quiet" area of the library not because they want to be quiet but because they don't want to be interrupted by someone as they hold their conversation.</Text>

    <Text>Oh, forgot all about her.  A previous director here (who quit - not retired) comes in, and throws a fit about her fines every time.  Especially on interloan.  Our state interloan policy says a library does not charge another library for late materials.  But that doesn't mean we can't charge our patrons, because, otherwise, we'd never see these items again.  
So she doesn't feel she needs to pay her fines.  So I don't feel she needs to use the library. :)</Text>

    <Text>We have several patrons who were abusing the Study Room privileges, and so our branch manager decided to change how we run those.  Now, they are only allotted 2 hours in them OFFICIALLY.  If another patron wants/needs a study room, we have the right to tell the former patron to relinquish the room.  Our main problem is 3 of them have windows, so they are the "hot" rooms to use.  However, with this new policy enforced, the patrons are complying by the rules, so we're hoping that will continue especially when the Fall term starts.</Text>

    <Text>Overall, that's a good list, although I don't believe that all public libraries expect you to have the full Adobe suite available to you when submitting a resume.  If you don't, Word is fine.  Anyone who won't hire you as a YS librarian for not creating your own PDF resume will probably not be much fun to work with.  ;-)</Text>

    <Text>I think I need a little clarification.  Is the library card that the local library issues to teachers only for them to use on school-related materials (i.e. books for classroom/curriculum/etc.)?  If so, then I guess I could see the director's point.  We have a similar rule at the library where I work.

Is there a reason why the teacher doesn't use her own, personal library card from wherever she lives?  Or is there a reason why her husband doesn't use his own library card to place the ILLs?</Text>

    <Text>The public library card is given free to out of town teachers for them to use  for school related or their own personal use. The library in her town is very small, not open very much and is not automated or on line. The consortium has 60,000 titles. The library in her town has probably 7,000.

    <Text>Oh, I didn't mean that you shouldn't bother to get her the material she wants. I don't completely understand who the ultimate lender is? I just thought that now the library director would complain that YOU were getting the teacher's husband's engineering books without paying the usage fee. It's a sticky situation. You want to provide the best service to your teachers, yet maintain a good relationship with the library director. I would say that unless the director specifically asks you to address the problem, you should say nothing but go over the policy again when school starts in the fall</Text>

    <Text>Sorry I wasn't very clear on our demographics.  This is a small rural library.  I advertise through local newspapers, for summer reading I distribute fliers along the Memorial Day parade route to families and send information to local churches for posting.  We always have library activities such as stories and crafts on Tuesday mornings because the library does not open until 1:00 PM.  Family nights and park events are held on Thursdays when the library is closed.  I have done this consistently for 23 years attendance is small 15-30, we do food. I did speak to some families, answers varied.</Text>

    <Text>I'll add to this that if you make library cards with the barcodes, you might want to keep the library cards for the lowest grades (pre-k through 1st) in the library.  If they're grouped by class, the teacher can retrieve the cards for their class whenever they come to the library.  Otherwise, too many lost or damaged cards (safety scissors are surprisingly lethal!).</Text>

To vote a sample question on-topic, just click the number next to "great on-topic" example; To vote a sample question off-topic, just click the number next to "great off-topic" example."

    <Text>To clarify Susan's answer, books traditionally labeled "Easy" are often picture books or wordless books, and written on low reading levels.  Hi/lo books typically have older characters and subject matter than would be suggested by the reading level.  For example, titles in Paul Kropp's Encounter series such as Street Narc and Juvie have elementary reading level but are intended for older readers. </Text>

    <Text>Can you clarify what type of books you're wondering about? "Easy reader" to mean means the level between picture books and chapter books—*Frog and Toad*, *George and Martha*, etc. "YA" means aimed at teenagers, typically featuring teenage to college-age characters. Very different things! Also, it's good to bear in mind that not all YA books are easier than all adult books—a mass-market adult mystery may actually be much harder to read than a YA title like *Madapple*, *Tender Morsels*, or *Curse Dark as Gold*</Text>

    <Text>One of my ongoing work projects is managing a statewide reading initiative to promote local authors, and I have found the publishers' publicity departments very responsive to my requests for book jacket images, author photos, etc.  Some may require a permissions statement be posted with the image - I have come across that once or twice, and generally will indicate that the photo is "courtesy publisher X; used with permission" as a courtesy anyway. 

I've found that some publishers are prompter than others.  Get your requests in as early as you can.</Text>

    <Text>The books are anywhere from 4th grade to 10th grade level. For the most part it's things like Sounder or Number the Stars (Newbery Medal winner types). I think the "easy read(er)" idea was thrown out there mostly because those are stickers readily available from Demco. Personally, I think of "easy read" and "easy reader" as two totally different things, but are just too similar for "easy read" to work effectively as a label. 

In response to applecake: no, we don't have to label them. Basically if we find a good labeling solution then we will, and if not we won't! =)</Text>

    <Text>Ahhh, Shirly, that's the system on the CURRENT site! That's how, right here, you show your approval for questions and answers. 

But next spring, if not before, we need to move Unshelved Answers to a new site. We're trying to do that at Area 51. So, go to http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/12432/libraries and THERE vote for sample questions using the method I described.</Text>

    <Text>I started doing this last year, and my elementary students have really liked it.  For me, I prefer it to a separate series area.  I am a school librarian, and I think a series shelf/area would get very crowded when many students are trying to check out at once (I have classes of 20-30 students at a time).  My kids would flock there.  </Text>

    <Text>Creating a PDF is definitely an extra step, but it's not a difficult one.  Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org), which is free, has the ability to create PDFs built right in.  Another option that works with Microsoft Office products is to install PDF Creator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ - again, free).  It adds itself as a printer option, so you create a PDF file the same way you'd print a document.  

And of course, both of these can be used for non-resume purposes, too.</Text>

    <Text>I agree that it can be harmful to say "I can't help you with that," especially since patrons tend to be less intimidated asking the person in the stacks rather than the person behind the desk (as someone who's been a page and a reference librarian, I'm speaking from my own experience).

What I used to do as a page was walk someone over to the section (if I knew the subject offhand), and then find the reference librarian and let them know where the person was looking in case the question was more complicated that first indicated.</Text>

    <Text>the tricky part is that allergies are also and ADA category.  mostly this has been applied to food allergies but there are people who can have deadly anaphalaxis to animals too.

    <Text>The problem really comes down to ease of browsing/shelving. We have a designated area for new books, but it's hard to decipher which ones are new just from looking at a cart of books to be shelved. Instead of being able to take a quick glance through the books to see what's new, a person has to look inside the book to see if it's new or not. It's just inconvenient, really, and I'm hoping to find an easier solution than stickers!</Text>

    <Text>We also have a separate section for the new books (out in the last 6 months).  We do sometimes confuse people looking in the catalog because our books go from "In Processing" to "Available", but no distinction for "new shelves".

To answer the question, however, we stamp the inside with the month of processing.  Generally the new books LOOK like new books, though, so you don't have to look at every single book when you're separating a cart of returns.  By the time they're six months old, they generally start to look like it.</Text>

    <Text>We went from "NO CELLPHONES" to "Please Silence Your Phones and Take Your Conversation Outside" signs.

Which was much nicer than the "This is your phone.  This is your phone on vibrate.  Any questions?" signs that I really wanted to put up.

But I agree with Janet that it's the behavior, not the machine causing problems.  If it's one group, a few reminders might be necessary.</Text>

    <Text>Just a thought, since you said your school had an environmental focus.  Could you have a small book sale &amp; use the profits to buy newer editions?  Or donate the books elsewhere - say, your local public library?  That way the admin can have comfort that they didn't recycle or trash the books (although we all know where they will end up... ).</Text>

    <Text>I also got my MLIS from Florida State and I did the distance learning program.  I thought it was a good program and was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually got to know my fellow students and professors quite well even though all the work was online.  The work was quite intense.  I was working full-time and could only manage two classes each semester because of the work load.  I was also an older student, having worked for several years in a library before going to library school.</Text>

    <Text>I agree with Brian.  I've seen LibraryThing implemented in smaller businesses to catalog topic based collections and it works great.  It is simple to maintain and is customizable based on record information, display and access.  Also, they sometimes do "Flash Mob" cataloging as Brian mentioned above which would be an awesome way to get your collection cataloged in no time.  Good luck.</Text>

    <Text>Have to agree with Deb here.  If you're in a public library, there is no archival mission.  Weeding happens.  It's a natural part of the library.  How many books does your system ADD to its collection each year?  How much SPACE does your system add each year?  Uh-huh, that's what I thought.</Text>

    <Text>See, my impression when first reading the subject was "Cool!  That's what libraries are all about!" and then was depressed with what it meant in the rest of Georgeanne's question.

What better place to engage students in their own learning than in the library?  It's a place to not only find answers to questions, but to find the questions themselves!</Text>

My middle school sign their own things out but not anyone else.</Text>

    <Text>Georgeanne, I see that you mentioned several time that students do not have much free time at all; so I'm wondering when exactly the administration think that students are supposed to come and work? Without going into what duties they can have, just the logistics of this seem very weird, if it is in a regular school day setting. I'm not against the idea in general, but the admin team should really think about HOW their genius ideas are supposed to be applied!</Text>

    <Text>I don't know. I need to look. But anything that is a series I would guess is not scary enough. These kids are devouring The Shining which is one of the scariest books I have ever read so I think they are looking for real scary. But I will check.</Text>

    <Text>I've had a similar experience, Kemendraugh.  The worst was a girl who said rather derisively, "You have a MASTER'S DEGREE?  What do you even DO?"  I had no witty reply to that - indeed, I had no reply to that, as I was too shocked and offended to say anything.

The other end of the spectrum was a young man who said, upon learning that I have a MA-LIS, "You have a master's degree in Librarian?  That's so cool!" Then he went around the school telling everyone else he saw that I have a master's in "Librarian".  Pretty funny, and it also made my day.</Text>

    <Text>Thanks Lisa,

Do you know where I can get a list of acquisition librarians? I have called and emailed a few but find it were time consuming. I think I have a neat book, once I show a college library or book store they love it. But it's hard to get the attention of the people who need to see it.

Thanks again,
James</Text>

    <Text>by O. T. Nelson - from Amazon - is a sober survival story about a fifth grade girl identified simply as Lisa. The novel recounts Lisas struggle to care for herself and her younger brother in a world where everyone over the age of 12 has been wiped out by a mysterious plague. Forced to steal and afraid of gangs of child thieves, the pair go from barricading themselves in their basement to working with neighborhood children to form a militia.</Text>

    <Text>Dear Matt:  Don't worry about Mockingjay popularity -- when I first got on the "hold" list I was about 189th or so. I put myself on on the day the book went on sale, so the eager target audience fanbase got in ahead of me. Which is good, fair, and proper, I feel. The local system even had a Mockingjay release party, featuring snacks from the foods of the Hunger Games series (how'd they get the funding for goat cheese?). I thought holding a "Mockingjay" party sort of missed the boat on dystopian youth literature, but who am I to judge what might encourage readers?</Text>

    <Text>the cassette thing was a metaphor, not a specific instance. But how about borrowing a library CD and putting the music on your iPod? Doing so for keeps would be wrong, but for a week or two? 

I am certainly not suggesting condoning this DRM stripping for private, "ethical" (i.e. no file sharing, removing the file at the end of the loan period) use, nor posting directions in the library!!!

BUT it's more of a - "is this really wrong?" type question</Text>

Whether I agree with the law or not (and I am honestly on both sides with this particular example) this is not enough a moral issue to break the law.

    <Text>While I voted up the answer, as it's the only reasonable response to this question (librarians do not and cannot condone breaking copyright law), I feel compelled to point out that my car has a cassette player in it.  But it broke last month, so perhaps I'm being overly nitpicky, even by librarian standards.

    <Text>Great answer, and great suggestions!  A coworker made me aware of this app, and I'm doing some research now.  I have not seen anyone coming into the library where I work, and using a mobile device in place of a card, but I have a feeling that is not too far off.  

I plan on investigating what a possible policy would be like for our system, and pushing for allowing the use of this new tool.  Your recommendations for how to implement this are great, and I think I'd suggest that the patron have i.d. on hand to verify identity if necessary.</Text>

    <Text>I know too, that there are some systems that will buy extra copies of hot books and make them immediately available in the branches for an extra fee. I don't know about renewals on those.  Others have uncatalogued copies, but being so, you can't be sure you have them unless you can pick the book out of the group.  Those you can keep as long as you want.</Text>

    <Text>Our Lego club has been a big draw for boys.  We put up flyers asking for people to donate Legos a few months before we planned to begin the program and received lots, so our only expense is snacks. We have a theme each month.  I put out a display of theme-related books and do a little booktalking, then the building begins.  The kids can work alone or in groups, it's up to them.  They love working with a theme and are eager to show off their creations at the end of the program.  This program gets a bit loud, so be sure you can have it in a room where you can close the door.</Text>

    <Text>Thanks Elizabeth - I just read the description of Battle Royale, and it does close.  I thought I read it in the mid-90's though, and I don't remember any Japanese kids element to the story - it seemed purely military.  But Battle Royale sounds good, so I'll read (and watch) it and see for sure - thanks again.</Text>

    <Text>My favorite pet peeve is when people speak English with a whatever accent.  Say we're watching Germans but they're supposed to be speaking German and we just happen to understand it (English).  If that's the case, we wouldn't hear an accent.  It would just be German (English).

Cases of someone doing it right, The Hunt for Red October (though it's Sean Connery, so it's Russian (English) with a Scottish accent) and The Thirteenth Warrior.</Text>

    <Text>They had fun with that until they got into trouble in the film &lt;i&gt;Night at the Museum&lt;/i&gt;. The writer's commentary commented extensively on Octavius the Roman's speaking English with an British accent (no explaination, it's expected), the mummy speaks English because he was at Oxford (on display), while Attila the Hun and his cronies speak Hun. But someone completely randomly happens to speak Hun when they need an interpreter.

I blame the Royal Shakespeare Theater, the BBC, and &lt;i&gt;I, Claudius&lt;/i&gt;.</Text>

    <Text>I meant to mention something we did for January 2000 that drastically affected the number of books going out.  We challenged our patrons to read a "ton of books"...2000 pounds is a ton.  We weighed books as they were checked out and we hit 2000 pounds before the second week of January 2000.  That was about the time we had full Internet access, which seemed to cause our drop off.</Text>

    <Text>My initial bibliographic reference said "Munro" was included in the &lt;i&gt;Passionella and Other Stories&lt;/i&gt; collection. However, upon further review, the new Fantographics printing of that title doesn't include "Munro." I &lt;b&gt;did&lt;/b&gt; find "Munro" in the collection &lt;i&gt;Feiffer's Children&lt;/i&gt;, copyright 1986 Andrews, McMeel &amp; Parker (a Universal Press Syndicate Affiliate). The copyright information also specifies "Munro" as being copyright 1959 Jules Feiffer. I apologize for my earlier, incorrect post, which I'm leaving in place. </Text>

    <Text>@Greg: Thank you, I think that is exactly it.  I found it in two short story collections, "Battlefields Beyond Tomorrow" (http://www.librarything.com/work/1132225) and "Isaac Asimov's Wonderful Worlds of Science Fiction, Volume 2: The Science Fictional Olympics" (http://www.librarything.com/work/827652), but neither of those sound familiar to me so it must appear in more collections too.  I requested one of them from a nearby library, because I went through all the short story collections on my shelf and couldn't find it.  Thanks again.</Text>

    <Text>I don't believe in storage!  Either it should be accessible or should be gone.  Not exactly something I'd put in circulation (not that there's room there, either).

Times like these, having a collection development policy would be nice.  Guess I should get to work on that.</Text>

    <Text>I was told I had poor classrm mgmt/org skills and my resig was effective end of the day. Union rep changed to end of the week (satisfy 72 hour notice rule and I rec'd full wk's pay). People I've spoken to (including former school librarians) say something was fishy about this - the principal hired me knowing I had no teaching experience and the first year teacher support meeting was repeatedly resched. My old supervisor says learning classrm mgmt takes months.  Doubt I'll be hired by a school any time soon (why would anyone hire someone with no experience?).</Text>

    <Text>I really don't have any rules or time limits, it just seems to work.  The Wii is first come first served.  I do check out the controlers.  The games seem to bring different groups of students together that normally wouldn't interact.  I do ask that students put everything away neatly and make sure all of the pieces are in the boxes.  The only problem I have sometimes is the noise level but the students are pretty good about quieting down when asked.
I have about 30 students each morning before school and I think it makes them feel more comfortable about coming to the library at other times.</Text>

    <Text>Maybe you could start with one of his other books. The first Wolfe I read was *Soldier of the Mist,* and I had trouble finishing/enjoying it because it was so weird. I could only enjoy Wolfe a few years later. His books *The Wizard* and *The Knight* are also a little easier to get into...</Text>

    <Text>The reasoning behind the argument against was that librarians (and libraries) are more old-fashioned and traditional. Therefore, even a glimpse of a tattoo would automatically put me out of the running. I've had a tattoo since I was 18 but it is usually covered. I'm not advocating flaunting my tattoos but I'm not ashamed of them either. </Text>

    <Text>I agree, and one thing that a coworker suggested I do when I have a patron "talking down" to me in a complaint is to just stand up. It gives you a bit more even ground with the patron who is standing there, yelling at you for something that is not your fault. And the shell will grow harder with time, it just takes practice in dealing with problem patrons, and there will be more on one occasion, trust me on that. Remember, it isn't about the patron being annoyed with us but rather the situation.</Text>

    <Text>So far lots of good suggestions but not really what I'm looking for.  They want realistic, modern day romances. They have enjoyed Nicholas Sparks, and of course the Twilight books (I know, not very realistic but they think they are), love the Bluford books and want more urban fiction.  My problem is finding something they want but doesn't go too far for the middle school audience.</Text>

    <Text>If the offending parent is in that whole "quality time" mode, let them know that while the young ones are with the storyteller, and the other parents are sitting and watching their young, is the IDEAL time to harvest the picture book shelves so there will be a thick stack ready to check out when story time is over. Tell them it's "effective time management," and if the family has pets, the youngster can practice his/her storytelling skills on unprotesting dogs and (not so unprotesting) cats.</Text>

    <Text>We did, for some adult mystery novels that were in the collection. But they were never checked out - never even looked at - by the students, so I removed them, and the restriction that went with them. I give oral warnings younger students who check out more mature materials that it might be a bit tough for them, but I let them check them out. Somehow, visual materials - especially ones with ratings given by a reputed association and which have somewhat of a legal importance - seem a very different matter than books.</Text>

I'm not a good source for "allea" or simply play for fun sort of games. Although I was once in this Hollwood film world board game where points were based on making movies. Yeah, I had Alfred Hitchcock direct "Cinderella." If you've film holdings you'd like to build interest in, such a game may help.</Text>

Or I've had people actually hold onto them and bring the videos back with the cards for new ones so we do both at one transaction.</Text>

    <Text>Read both of these! "The Golden Compass" was good, but after that it got a little...weird. Still, I never thought (seriously) of giving up. :p The Name of the Wind is incredibly awesome. 100% agreement there. :)</Text>

    <Text>I'm most of the way through The Wheel of Time. I have to agree, even I felt it slowing down towards the middle, and once I'm that stuck-in to a series I have trouble finding any flaws in it, but still, fun stuff! I'm liking Brandon Sanderson even more! Thanks!</Text>

    <Text>You can't post any more questions on the Libraries proposal. It's in the commitment phase now. In the upper-left corner of this page, right next to "Libraries": http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/12432/libraries it has a "commit" button. Click it if you'd like to/agree to post at least 10 questions/answers when the site goes into its first 10 days of beta.</Text>

    <Text>In the upper-left corner of the same page, it says we've met 34% of the requirements to enter beta. If you click "more info...' in the bottom of that box, you'll see that we have all the committers we need, but those committers lack the necessary reputation!</Text>

    <Text>You earn reputation the same way we do on this site, asking and answering questions and being voted up....The other stackexchange sites are laid out more or less identically to Unshelved Answers, and I'd advise joining one of those sites, if any of them meet your interests (see a complete list of the launched sites here: http://stackexchange.com/sites ).</Text>

    <Text>You don't answer questions on Area 51, you just ask them. To ask questions, you have to find a proposal you're interested in. That's easiest from the home-page, here: http://area51.stackexchange.com/. On the left side, you'll see that all of the proposals are divided up into different "genres." that makes it easier to not look at what you're not interested in (obviously).</Text>

    <Text>Once you've clicked on a proposal that's NOT in the commitment phase (If the button is green, it's in commitment, and you can't ask questions.), you can answer questions by scrolling all the way to the bottom. You should see a white text box in the lower-left corner. It says "Propose a sample question" above it, and there's an alien holding a sign off to the right. Just type your question, and hit the "Post" button right below.</Text>

    <Text>Then, once you've asked your sample questions, you can further help that site by following it (hitting the orange button in the upper-left), or by voting for other sample questions. Voting on sample questions is a little weird. If you think that that question is a great example of what you think belongs on that Q&amp;A site, click "Great On-Topic Example." If you think that that question doesn't belong there at all, but is likely to be asked if you don't point it out, click "Great Off-Topic Example." If you think that the question is sort of okay, but still sort of not, click "Not a Good Example."</Text>

    <Text>Thanks for all the info -- unfortunately, I'm still confused. :( I've committed to it a while ago, so that's done. In comment #3, you say that people earn rep' by asking/answering questions - but then in #4, you say that "you don't answer question on Area 51, you just ask them". Then in #4, that "you can answer questions" for a proposal that's not in the commitment phase. That's all very confusing to me (sorry!!). </Text>

    <Text>So let's talk about the Libraries proposal for now, since that's what is of interest to people here: the proposal is still in the commitment phase right now. After "committing" to it, what do we do, and how?</Text>
