Rest of bookbag issue.

We had a large coat stand but it has to be sturdy.... also if a student
insisted on having his/her book bag and now-a-days I can agree (anyone can
put something in it when not supervised) I would let them but then I would
also ask for one shoe... they could not leave without the shoe so in
exchange they would agree to a check of the book bag... I did the same
"shoe" thing with borrowing pens, pencils etc..
***********************************************************

I implemented a no-bookbag policy in the library when I came to
Xavier 12 years ago.  When the library was renovated in 1996, part of
the renovation is a large bookbag storage section:  cubbies against
the section leading up to the security gate.  This deals with most of
the problem; the theft part is dealt with by a security camera which
tapes the area for most of the day.
I put in the no bookbag rule after I fell over bags left here and
there.  Most of the time I don't have a problem; it cuts down theft a
little, but not entirely.
******************************************************

We have a no bookbag/backpack policy, and we also have a designated
entrance and exit, so we ask that the students retrieve what they need
and keep their bags near the exit.


Good Luck
