I made my own passes. They are about 3 1/2 inches square. I can fit 6 on a
page. I make several copies, specifically on pink paper, so that I know they
are my passes when a student comes into the media center. Teachers must fill
out the student or students' name(s), date, teacher name, time, and specific
reason that the student needs the media center. I hand pages of passes out
to the teachers who know that I have resorted to this method in order to
curb, not only misuse of the library, but skipping as well. If a student
arrives without a pink pass, I send them back to class. If they are not
working on the work designated in the pass, the get sent back to class.
Works for me.

Subject: [LM_NET] SEC: Media Center Passes
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 08:45:03 -0600
When I started in this library last Fall, I was handed a LARGE box of
Library Passes from the printer (complete with the old librarian's name on
them). After having used these since then, I'm convinced that there must be
a better way! Do any of you have printed passes that work well for you? I'd
like to know exactly what the teachers expect the kids to be doing in the
Media Center when they send them, but the form I've been using is too
complex for any teacher to fill out. So, generally, they just put the
student's name on it and sometimes sign it--if I'm lucky.
Any suggestions?
I checked in the archives and saw that some schools use time clocks to track
the students' time in the media center. Have any of you had experience with
this? And if so, do you also use a paper pass from the teachers to give you
a clue of what their intent is in sending this student to you?
