    Greetings Carol,

     

    I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit.

    We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!

    Sincerely,


    Mike McQueen

    I put a barcode on a small index card and put it in a pocket in the magazine. Then I check it out as a temporary item.

    Our student periodicals are for in library use only and the teachers come in and sign out the periodicals they want on a clipboard. Not high tech but effective. I would like to get organized to the point of having temporary barcodes for check out with our Destiny system but haven't gotten to that point yet.

    Hi! We barcode each magazine and circulate that way. We have a sign up sheet for staff and my assistant rotates them to those who sign up.

    I am a little old fashioned. I have zip lock bags and a sign out notebook. We are a small school and do not have a huge selection of periodicals. Only 5th graders can check out magazines. The sign them out using the notebook.

    To check out magazine I buy a box of manilla letter envelopes in an 8 1/2 by 10 size. I make temporary barcodes to go on the envelopes and scan the envelope
    that the student will put the magazine in. In my system, Alexandria, you are able to type in a name for the temporary item and I type the magazine name, title of that month's issue, year and month.
