Teacher's Resources
Teacher's Assignment Alert
For
class assignments requiring library resources, call the Riverside
Public Library (442-6366) and make arrangement to implement one of
the options listed below:
OPTIONS:
1. The public library will pull all books on the subject(s) and
arrange for one of the following:
a. Change the loan period to a time frame designated by the teacher
(1 day? 1 week?)
b. Designate that all books must be used in the public library for
the duration of the assignment by placing the items on a "reserve"
shelf.
c. Check-out books to the teacher for use in the classroom (under
this scenario the teacher becomes responsible for any lost or
overdue payments).
2. All teachers may bring classes to the public
library (by appointment, please) for introductory bibliographic
instruction and an overview of the available resources.
3. If the library is not given the assignment
information before the students, the first few students in the
library can check out all books on the topic. This makes it
difficult for the remaining students to successfully complete their
assignment.
ALSO AVAILABLE:
1. Computer workstations with CD-ROM access to
newspaper and magazine indexes, encyclopedias and a variety of other
indexes and full text data bases are available for student and
teacher use.
2. Public library staff will be happy to prepare
special bibliographies of available resources. These can be used to
supplement class instruction and to aid in preparing class
assignments.
Call the Riverside Public Library (442-6366) and ask
for: Anne Huston.
