Subject: Target:  Checkout of Reference books

I was curious as to the policy in other media centers regarding the use of 
reference books.  Our students cannot take reference books out of the library into 
classrooms for use and definitely cannot check them out to take home.  There are 
students who do not have access to computers at home let alone encyclopedias or 
dictionaries.  Some of these students do not have transportation to public 
libraries to use these resources outside of school.  I would like to know what 
other libraries' policies are regarding this issue.  thanks!
