III. Library Usage
Guidelines:
- Teachers may bring their class
to the library during the second half of a given period. Teachers
may not sign up for more than six library visits during a four week
period. The classroom sign-up sheet is located on the right side of the
blue charging desk. Due to the lack of computers, only one class may
reserve the library during any given time slot. Remember that many students use the
library at any given time, so computer use may be limited. Student
DISCIPLINE is the responsibility of the teacher while his/her class is
present. Help us maintain a quiet, user-friendly environment.
- Teachers may send NO MORE THAN
FIVE students with an official library pass to the library at one time.
Passes for individual students are accepted the first 30 minutes of each
period and are valid for 30 minutes. Students with passes may be
asked to return to class if the library is at capacity. Passes need to be signed by the
sending teacher, dated, timed and a clearly stated reason for the visit
written on the pass. Please require that students have the library
staff note the departure time on the pass.
- Ask for a map of the library if
you need help locating any items.
- All computers in the library
have the WHS Library OPAC (On-line Public Access Catalog) available for
searching the library.
- If there is a title/author not
available in the WHS collection, write the name of the title or author
on a piece of paper or e-mail the library at sharris2@houstonisd.org), and
we will attempt to order the item.
