Re: Library Forms

[Barbara Jansen <bjansen@TENET.EDU>]

I include the following information on forms for teachers to request purchases
for library materials:
Subject area; curriculum objective or unit; does our collection have any
materials to support this?; does the District Media Center have any
materials to support this?; desired format (book, video, laser disk,
etc.); include an area for them to list title, author, publisher, etc., if
known.

In my first newsletter of the year and again midway through, I suggest
that they keep a list of materials needed for specific subjects in the
front of their plan book, adding to it as needed. Then they can refer to
the list. I use the requests for budget proposals for the following year.
