[LM_NET] TAR: Using audio with kids

["Teri S. Lesesne" <lis_tsl@SHSU.EDU>]

I have done a bit of research about using audiobooks with older readers, but
I wonder if anyone out there is doing the same with younger kids (K-8).  Are
you adding audio to the library collection?  If so, what format is the one
you select?  Cassette, CD, downloads?  Are the audiobooks separate from the
rest of the collection?  Do you permit students to check them out?  Are
teachers using them in the classroom?

If you have any experience in this area, I would love to hear from you.  I
will post a HIT from the responses.

Thanks,

teri

Subject: TARGET: Turnstiles/Counting patrons

I am looking for turnstiles that "count" the number of students who come
into the IMC.  For years we have used sign-ins to keep track of the hourly
count of patrons entering the IMC, however, we get busy with other duties
and often miss kids entering and exiting.  In this age of library staff cuts
I am trying to figure something to purchase that would count the number of
students entering. We are thinking of purchasing something from Demco that
is placed above the door and uses a beam to count patrons entering, however
we have a double entry door and I know when more than one person enters at a
time, the beam will only count one.  Is anybody out there using turnstiles
for this or some other good product?  Would love to hear from you, Thanks,
Sara
