Hi folks,
I am wondering why this is a decision made solely by the school library
media specialist rather than by a team composed of the SLMS, teachers
and other stakeholders in the school? We make a big mistake by not
involving our patrons in our policy and rule making. This seems like an
easy way to help develop ownership of the media center. I have long
advocated for school advisory groups
<http://www.doug-johnson.com/dougwri/advice.html> for a variety of
reasons including having them advise on such policies.
All the best and have a great beginning to your school year!
Doug
