LM_NET 07/31/99: No Subject

        We From: Kathy Lowe <lowe@MASSED.NET>
ience and are currently taking
a course entitled, "Management Information Systems for Libraries."  One of
the course requirements is to conduct exploratory research on the
availability and use of information systems in a particular type of library.
As aspiring school library media specialists, we are interested in learning
about how school librarians communicate with staff members.  We would
especially like to know if staff databases are used as tools in disseminating
information about new acquisitions, educational websites and other resources
that might be valuable to content area teachers.  We are hoping that you will
take a minute to fill out our very brief survey at:
http://scsu.ctstateu.edu/~mullins/staffdbs.htm

        Your help will be greatly appreciated.  For those of you who are
interested in the findings, I will post a hit or respond directly to you when
our project is complete.

        Many thanks to all!

Subject: Seeking fiction recommendations

Dear LM_NETters,
Our humanities teachers are looking for recommendations for historical
novels set in pre-colonial (preferably West) Africa (other than Things
Fall Apart); also those set during the anitbellum South (other than Gone
With the Wind) for grades 9-11.

The humanities theme this coming year is:  "How do you do the right
thing in an unjust world?"  Key concepts/vocabulary are  racism,
slavery/bystanders, collaborators, perpetrators, rescuers, resisters,
the victim.   The Holocaust and the American Civil Rights movement will
also be studied.  Titles already selected include Fences, Friedrich,
Warriors Don't Cry, Night, Night Father, Breath Eyes Memory, Eyes on the
Prize.

Any suggestions that you think would be appropriate for this curriculum
will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
