In addition, the libraries may be open at other hours, including evenings and Saturdays, as the governing board may determine. Libraries open to serve students during evening and Saturday hours shall be under the supervision of certificated personnel. Certificated personnel employed to perform full-time services in an elementary, junior high, or high school during the regular schoolday, may supervise, but shall not without their consent be required to supervise, a school library on evenings or Saturdays.

WRIST BANDS! =OUR CYBERSAFETY WIKI!!!=

Orientation: Cybersafety/Social Networking/Ethical Literacy/Digital Citizenship Curriculum
For next year:

-no more ability to monitor student computers. -need to be closed at some point for library maintenance -need to maintain library open for 40+ hours?

A few things to consider and perhaps include in your letters and presentations when a governing board is considering closing their school libraries : Education Code Section 18100 requires districts to provide school library services. It states: code  code

code The governing board of each school district **shall provide school library services** for the pupils and teachers of the district by establishing and maintaining school libraries or by contractual arrangements with another public agency. code Education Code Section 1 8103 requires that libraries be open during the school day for students and teachers. It states: The libraries **shall be open to the use of the teachers and the pupils of the school district during the schoolday**. In addition, the libraries may be open at other hours, including evenings and Saturdays, as the governing board may determine. Libraries open to serve students during evening and Saturday hours shall be under the supervision of certificated personnel….

Ted's Files: **I think that Ted is right. We have not hit the bottom, and if it comes down to us and a classroom teacher, it is more than likely going to be us. It is my opinion that we need to do everything we can to keep the library open for student use as much as possible. Our schools are all very different, and I think having one schedule for all of the schools will not fit the needs of each campus. I feel that flexibility is the key. No, I do not want to be taken advantage of and yes, I do want them to know that losing our techs has been detrimental to our program. But the bottom line is, we need to be here for our students.

Since I have done quite a bit of weeding in the past three years, I feel that our collection is getting closer to an acceptable age. (I need to run the numbers to see it's actual age) I like Ted's five-year-plan and hope the district sees some value in keeping our collections up-to-date. Do I think the money will be there to do +1,200/-800? Probably not, but we can take it to them and hope for the best.**

**10 Reasons Why the Internet Is No Substitute for a Library** By Mark Y. Herring, Dean of Library Services Dacus Library, Winthrop University , Rock Hill, South Carolina 

Reading, said the great English essayist <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Matthew Arnold <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, “is culture.” Given the condition of reading test scores among school children nationwide, it isn’t surprising to find both our nation and our culture in trouble. Further, the rush to Internetize all schools, particularly K–12, adds to our downward spiral. If it were not for the <span class="yshortcuts" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Harry Potter books <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> one might lose all hope who languishes here. Then, suddenly, you realize libraries really are in trouble, grave danger, when important higher-education officials opine, “Don’t you know the Internet has made libraries obsolete?” Gadzooks! as Harry himself might say. In an effort to save our culture, strike a blow for reading, and, above all, correct the well-intentioned but horribly misguided notions about what is fast becoming Intertopia among many non-librarian bean counters, here are 10 reasons why the Internet is no substitute for a library.

Not Everything Is on the Internet With over one billion Web pages you couldn’t tell it by looking. Nevertheless, very few substantive materials are on the Internet for free. For example, only about 8% of all journals are on the Web, and an even smaller fraction of books are there. Both a re costly! If you want the Journal of Biochemistry, <span class="yshortcuts" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Physics Today <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Journal of American History <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, you’ll pay, and to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Needle (Your Search) in the Haystack (the Web) The Internet is like a vast uncataloged library. Whether you’re using Hotbot, Lycos, <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dogpile <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, Infoseek, or any one of a dozen other search or metasearch engines, you’re not searching the entire Web. Sites often promise to search everything but they can’t deliver. Moreover, what they do search is not updated daily, weekly, or even monthly, regardless of what’s advertised. If a librarian told you, “Here are 10 articles on <span class="yshortcuts" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Native Americans <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. We have 40 others but we’re not going to let you see them, not now, not yet, not until you’ve tried another search in another library,” you’d throw a fit. The Internet does this routinely and no one seems to mind.

<span class="yshortcuts" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Quality Control <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Doesn’t Exist Yes, we need the Internet, but in addition to all the scientific, medical, and historical information (when accurate), there is also a cesspool of waste. When young people aren’t getting their sex education off XXX-rated sites, they’re learning politics from the Freeman Web page, or race relations from Klan sites. There is no quality control on the Web, and there isn’t likely to be any. Unlike libraries where <span class="yshortcuts" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">vanity press publications <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> are rarely, if ever, collected, vanity is often what drives the Internet. Any fool can put up anything on the Web, and, to my accounting, all have.

What You Don’t Know Really Does Hurt You The great boon to libraries has been the digitization of journals. But full-text sites, while grand, aren’t always full. What you don’t know can hurt you:

A library may begin with X number of journals in September and end with Y number in May. Trouble is, those titles aren’t the same from September to May. Although the library may have paid $100,000 for the access, it’s rarely notified of any changes. I would not trade access to digitized journals for anything in the world, but their use must be a judicious, planned, and measured one, not full, total, and exclusive reliance.
 * articles on these sites are often missing, among other things, footnotes;
 * tables, graphs, and formulae do not often show up in a readable fashion (especially when printed); and
 * journal titles in a digitized package change regularly, often without warning.

States Can Now Buy One Book and Distribute to Every Library on the Web -- NOT! Yes, and we could have one national high school, a national university, and a small cadre of faculty teaching everybody over streaming video. Let’s take this one step further and have only digitized sports teams for real savings! (Okay, I know, I’ve insulted the national religion.) Since 1970 abo ut 50,000 academic titles have been published every year. Of these 1.5 million titles, fewer than a couple thousand are available. What is on the Net are about 20,000 titles published before 1925. Why? No copyright restrictions that cause prices to soar to two or three times their printed costs. Finally, vendors delivering e-books allow only one digitized copy per library. If you check out an e-book over the Web, I can’t have it until you return it. Go figure, as they say. And if you’re late getting the book back, there is no dog-ate-my-homework argument. It’s charged to your credit card automatically.

Hey, Bud, You Forgot about E-book Readers Most of us have forgotten what we said about microfilm (“It would shrink libraries to shoebox size”), or when educational television was invented (“We’ll need fewer teachers in the future”). Try reading an e-book reader for more than a half-hour. Headaches and eyestrain are the best results. Besides, if what you’re reading is more than two pages long, what do you do? Print it. Where’s a tree hugger when you really need one? Moreover, the cost of readers runs from $200 to $2,000, the cheaper ones being harder on the eyes. Will this change? Doubtless, but right now there’s no market forces making it change. Will it change in less than 75 years? Unlikely!

Aren’t There Library-less Universities Now? No. The newest state university in California at=2 0Monterey opened without a library building a few years ago. For the last two years, they’ve been buying books by the tens of thousands because -- surprise, surprise -- they couldn’t find what they needed on the Internet. <span class="yshortcuts" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">California Polytechnic State University, home of the world’s highest concentration of engineers and computer geeks, explored the possibility of a virtual (fully electronic) library for two years. Their solution was a $42-million traditional library with, of course, a strong electronic component. In other words, a fully virtualized library just can’t be done. Not yet, not now, not in our lifetimes.

But a <span class="yshortcuts" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border-bottom: medium none; cursor: pointer;">Virtual State Library Would Do It, Right? Do what, bankrupt the state? Yes, it would. The cost of having everything digitized is incredibly high, costing tens of millions of dollars just in copyright releases. And this buys only one virtual library at one university. Questia Media, the biggest such outfit, just spent $125 million digitizing 50,000 books released (but not to libraries!) in January. At this rate, to virtualize a medium-sized library of 400,000 volumes would cost a mere $1,000,000,000! Then you need to make sure students have equitable access everywhere they need it, when they need it. Finally, what do you do with rare and valuable primary sources once they are digitized? Take them to the dump? And you must hope the power never, ever goes out. Sure, students could still read by candlelight, but what would they be reading?

The Int ernet: A Mile Wide, an Inch (or Less) Deep Looking into the abyss of the Internet is like vertigo over a void. But the void has to do not only with what’s there, but also with what isn’t. Not much on the Internet is more than 15 years old. Vendors offering magazine access routinely add a new year while dropping an earlier one. Access to older material is very expensive. It’ll be useful, in coming years, for students to know (and have access to) more than just the scholarly materials written in the last 10 to15 years.

The Internet Is Ubiquitous but Books Are Portable In a recent survey of those who buy electronic books, more than 80% said they like buying paper books over the Internet, not reading them on the Web. We have nearly 1,000 years of reading print in our bloodstream and that’s not likely to change in the next 75. Granted, there will be changes in the delivery of electronic materials now, and those changes, most of them anyway, will be hugely beneficial. But humankind, being what it is, will always want to curl up with a good book -- not a laptop -- at least for the foreseeable future. The Web is great; but it’s a woefully poor substitute for a full-service library. It is mad idolatry to make it more than a tool. Libraries are icons of our cultural intellect, totems to the totality of knowledge. If we make them obsolete, we’ve signed the death warrant to our collective nat ional conscience, not to mention sentencing what’s left of our culture to the waste bin of history. No one knows better than librarians just how much it costs to run a library. We’re always looking for ways to trim expenses while not contracting service. The Internet is marvelous, but to claim, as some now do, that it’s making libraries obsolete is as silly as saying shoes have made feet unnecessary.
