Welcome Teachers! The information on this page has been provided with the hope that you will find it helpful. If you have questions that are not answered here, please e-mail me or call ext. 4974.
All classes are welcome to visit the library. A class schedule is located at the circulation desk, and you may sign up for any day or block of days during the school year. Since our library is large enough to accommodate two classes at the same time, please indicate on the schedule the area of the library that you prefer (east side or west side). If your students will be doing research using computer databases, please reserve the east side of the library where our computers are located. Teachers are expected to remain in the library with their classes. Teachers may check out as many books or periodicals as needed and may keep them as long as needed. If you wish to have books pulled and placed on reserve for your classes, please notify the library staff three days in advance. A list of periodicals and newspapers available in our library may be accessed by clicking here. Lewisville I.S.D. and Region XI Education Service Center provide many electronic resources for our teachers and students to use at school and at home (free of charge). Databases for all core content areas are provided in addition to career resources, primary source documents, a full text periodical database, and an on-line encyclopedia. These resources may be accessed by clicking on the Research Bookmarks button below. Equipment may be reserved in advance using the equipment schedule that is available at the library circulation desk. Some items may be checked out for the year, while others must be returned daily. Please check with the library staff for information regarding the equipment that you are needing. To see a list of our equipment holdings, please click here. The media retrieval system enables teachers to show videocassette tapes, digital video disks (DVDs), or laser disks using classroom telephones as remote control devices. For detailed instructions, please click here. To reserve a channel in the media retrieval system, use the equipment schedule which is located at the circulation desk in the library. The videos housed in the library were purchased by departments and given to the library to catalog and store. All videos, including those in the library collection, must receive administrative approval before being shown. Approval forms are located in the library, or you may click here to print a copy. It is illegal to show a video as a reward or for entertainment purposes without a public performance license. A license has been purchased for our school so that we may use videos for Team Days or other special occasions; however, the license covers only the following motion picture producers: Walt
Disney Pictures Please be sure that noncurricular movies used for special purposes are produced by one of these companies. Our administrators have written guidelines regarding the site license, so please be sure to have these videos approved as you do all of the videos that you use in your classroom. Student library hours are 8:15 A.M. to 4:15 P.M. Students who wish to come in at 8:15 must get a pass from the teacher on duty in the cafeteria. Each day the duty teacher is given fifty library passes to distribute. Students may come in during the school day with a pass from a teacher, and each teacher may send as many as four students at a time. Students may check out two library books for a period of two weeks. Books may be renewed one time. Fines of .10 per school day are charged if a book is not returned by the due date. No fines are charged for weekends, holidays, or for any day that the student has an excused absence. Those who owe a fine or have an overdue book may not check out more books until all overdue items have been returned and fines have been paid. Eleven computers are available for student use in the library. Students are allowed to use the computers for school-related assignments if they have turned in Lewisville Independent School District's Acceptable Use Policy which has been signed by a parent or guardian and by the student. |
