Unlurking day

[David Schneider <schneidp@MAIL.MILWAUKEE.K12.WI.US>]

Dear Colleaques,

My name is David Schneider, I am the Library Media Specialist for Juneau
Business High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I have been an LMS for 30
years and have seen us go from the days of films, filmstrips, audio
cassettes, records, etc. to now when we have instant information at our
finger tips.  I joined LM_NET last spring and have enjoyed the guestions
and answers.  It is great for us single Librarians to have someone to go
to with our professional questions and concerns.

Our High School is a part of the Milwaukee Public Schools system.  About
17 years ago, when our population was dropping, we became a city wide
speciality school with an emphasis on Business.  We seem to be driftting
away from that now  with all the changes coming from Choice and Charter
schools.  This year we are embarking on a new program called
"Intersession".  Those of you in California may have heard of this
program since two high schools in southern California have been running
this program for several years.  We are only the third high school in
the country to try this program.  This is are first full year under this
program and are being watched by local officials and people from around
the country.

We finally automated last year using Winnebago Spectrum.  Other then a
few minor problems at the beginning it seems to be working fine.  We can
down load our student data base to disk and then import it into the
library system.  This sure has made life somewhat simpler 8-).

I had better get down to some library work.  Have a good "Unlurking"
day.
