I have no choice -- budget cuts will make it impossible to order anything next year. A moot point if they also eliminate my job. The Superintendent has been very specific in his language to the public that "classroom teaching positions" will not be cut -- this leaves everything else "on the table" as he has said many times. I'm very pessimistic - and this isn't like me at all. Joanne Benson Glasgow Teacher Librarian Evergreen Campus Library serving AAA, HS3 and TEC HS 830 SW 116th Street Seattle, WA 98146 206-433-2311 ext 235/234 glasgowj@hsd401.org http://www.hsd401.org/ourschools/highschools/evergreen/library.htm "More than a building that houses books and data, the library represents a window to a larger world, the place where we've always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward and the human story forward." Barak Obama -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Vaughn, Marty Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 8:27 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Re: [LM_NET] Target: Ordering Magazines Anne, I think this is a subject all of us struggle with especially now with severe budget cuts. No one around here reads anything but People. One teacher uses The Week in his class and the dance teacher requires her kids to use Dance. Okay, so that's 3 magazines that I see that are being used! I hate these useless periodicals but I'm afraid to get rid of them, but so many of the articles are now available full-text in the databases. I hope everyone chimes in on this issue because I, for one, am at a loss! Keep, get rid of, keep, get rid of . . . . Martha Vaughn Director, Holland Library Girls Preparatory School Chattanooga, TN -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of anne howard Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 11:10 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: Target: Ordering Magazines I recently received my reorder form from my vendor to reorder magazines for next year. Most of the magazines I order never have been checked out. Students aren't interested in Cricket, or Ladybug, or Calliope and neither are the teachers. I hate to spend money on titles no one reads. National Geographic is a library standard but I'm the only one who reads it. Has anyone severely cut back on the magazines they order? If so, what did you keep that circulates. I feel I'm wasting money purchasing magazines no one uses. TIA. Anne E.
