Subject: TARGET:  Library Orientation Big6 style

Hi All - 
Before we all go offline during Summer vacation, I wanted to ask about
lesson plans that others use for Library Orientation that are formatted
as a Big6 lesson. I work in a middle school library (grades 6-8) and
implemented Big6 this year. I thought it would be neat to create a
Library Orientation that teaches incoming 6th graders about the Library
while using the Big6 method. 

If you have used this in the past, could you please forward your lesson
plans!? TIA!

This is my first year and wondered what kind of statistics you report,

I am using Follett Circulation + and wondered if there was a way to run
a report that shows you what titles you have multiple copies, even if
one is in paperback and one is in hardback.

Subject: seeking fiction with tolerance theme for grades 7-12

Dear Collective Brain,

Pardon me if this has been a recent posting (I have several hundred, ok,
thousand I haven't gotten to yet, although I have scanned the subject
lines!)

I am searching for titles in the middle school to high school range that
have tolerance as a theme and has a more recent copyright date, say the
last
5 years or so.

If a title or two is worth recommending, please send it my way!

Thank you!

I have been listening to City of Ashes and have gotten to the part where
Clary begins to write her own runes. I can't remember when she put the
first rune on her wrist and have been looking for it. If you remember
what chapter this is in, would youi mind letting me know. Thanks.

Subject: HELP : Copyright and video clips

Hi,

I would appreciate a response from anyone who knows the law well enough
to =
comment.

Our orchestra teacher wishes to use video clips from musicals as a
visual b=
ackground (no sound, just the visual scene) for an upcoming Spring
concert =
where the students play related music. She will project them using a
data p=
rojector and said she is willing to use video clips of any length
supported=
 by the law. Some of the pieces are from The Sound of Music and
Oklahoma.

Is this Fair Use? Or does she need to get permission from the
originators?
If OK, how long may the clips be?
If they charge for attendance would that be a factor?

Thank you.

8 of our top 10 were on our Battle of the Books lists.  We have 6-8

there if we had also had that many copies.  For example, I can't keep
any =
of the Bone books in, but I have only 3 copies of each, so the circ =
numbers are still high, but not as high.  On the other hand, I have 8 =
copies of Wimpy Kid, and they are always checked out as well.  I'm sure

the movies helped for #s 3-5. =20
