LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Our new K12 media center is in the planning stages; hope to open Sept.
'97. Plans are for evening and weekend hours open to the public as well as
drop-ins during our school days. We are 20 miles from the nearest public
library and will be a community resource as well as school. Our center will
have only one certified staff during school hours (I know!!!!, but this
won't change in spite of pleas); non-school hours are up for
discussion. The center will be automated and have many resources involving
new technologies, at least new to us.
What concerns do we need to address now at this planning stage to
accomodate public use? Have you opened your center this way? How do
you work staffing and circulation? What about reference materials and
reserves? Any information about public use would be appreciated as this is
completely new territory for me.
