Re: Library Class Booking Systems

[Kathy Geronzin <geronzin@HOBBES.CLINTON.NET>]

I think maybe the problem isn't that the teacher is bringing their class
to the library too many times, but that the teacher doesn't have planned
objectives for their research units, doesn't have good classroom
control, or isn't limiting the visits to the time when they are most
productive.  I have learned that most classes can find their resources
with about two days of class time in the library.  After that it is time
to start taking notes and that can be done in the classroom.  I welcome
classes whenever a teacher wants to bring them.  I would be appalled if
there were state guidelines to limit visits.
