We have several copies of Cut, by Patricia McCormick. We also have the
audio book. It is very popular at my school. Unfortunately, it is
relevant here.

Subject: Hit: HS Literary Criticism

Thank you so much for all the responses and information I received
regarding
Literary Criticism Databases. All the suggestions were very helpful. I
was
amazed at how many of you took the time to write and give these to me.
The
recommendations included: Gale Literature Resource Center-highly
authoritative and reference-based on their materials in hardcopy,
Bloom's
Literary Criticism Online from Facts on File-students like the images,
videos, and timelines, Literary Reference Center from EBSCO-good for
authors, Magill on Literature-digitalized Masterplots and Critical
Review,
JSTOR-archived academic journals, and Questia. I was also contacted at
work
by sales reps for some of these databases offering free trials. I made
my
final decision based on teacher recommendations in my building and
price.
I'd be happy to share my choice offline with anyone interested.

From:    Elizabeth Fox <keokuk@CASCO.NET>
Subject: GEN: drinks in the library

I am so envious of those of you who are allowed to let patrons have
drinks
in the library.   Our district replaced our badly stained carpet (after
14
years) and advised me that I was not to allow any drinks in there,
especially coffee and hot chocolate.

Our library gets a LOT of traffic - especially during lunch - and I love
that it's considered the chill place to be, BUT I am sick of being a
drink
gestapo!  I did make an executive decision to allow water bottles, as
they
aren't going to stain the carpet and are unlikely to spill if they
remain
capped.   

All my nagging feels like it's for naught - the district office and
others
use our library as a meeting room when school isn't in session and there
have been LOTS of drinks spilled, as I think users ignore the many No
Food
or Drinks allowed signs.  My year-old carpet has giant stains all over
it!

How do those of you who permit drinks handle the spills?   Do you
require
lidded & capped drinks?  What about cans?

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Liz

Subject: SHARE: Most Portland schools don't have certified librarians

from an interesting article on the lack of certified librarians in =
Portland, Oregon:

"In a society where most kids would rather consult Wikipedia than the =
World Book Encyclopedia, they say every student needs to learn how to =
use library resources and evaluate online information.

Nearly every teacher, librarian and media assistant has a story about =
kids quoting unreliable or inaccurate sources they found through a quick
=
perusal of popular search engines. Online research, database skills, =
taking notes, paraphrasing, Web evaluation and analysis are all part of
=
library media education.

"These skills are part of being a lifelong learner and thinking =
critically," said Melinda McCrossen, librarian at Bridlemile Elementary
=
School. "That's not something we have a plan for building right now."

Forgive the cross-posting, but I'm interested in as many opinions as

Who has Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why or Patricia McCormick's Cut?

Subject: Update: to toss or not to toss: Nancy Drew

I must have received about 75 responses.  Thank you to the many of you
who
told their own stories about how important the series was to them.  It
is
obvious that many of us have fond memories of the series.

Following is a summary for those who asked for a hit.

About 3/4 said I should keep them or replace.  Many suggested I promote
them
one more time.

The remainder 1/4 suggested I toss.

Decision:   I am going to push them a bit with my 3 & 4th and see what
happens.  If there is any interest I will replace.  Thanks again to all.
