Patty McClune posted a discussionAn EBSCO monopoly?
Have all of you seen this email from Gale? It seems the EBSCO has acquired, or is planning to acquire, exclusive licensing of all Time and Forbes publications. Unless your library subscribes to EBSCO patrons will (over the next year) lose access to these publications. Our state, Pennsylvania, is currently renegotiating new terms for Power Library databases, but it certainly isn't a given that EBSCO will remain. Right now we're also…See More

Patty McClune replied to Patty McClune's discussion What have you read over the summer? in the group YA Lit in School Libraries"Sometimes it's slow to load and you will need to scroll over all the way with the bottom scroll bar to see the up/down scroll bar on the far right. From there you can pull down to see the rest of sheet 1. Hope this helps."

- I have been booktalking to reluctant readers for the last 7 years! It was one of the main responsibilities when I came. There are 3 Reading teachers in our school of 2,000 kids and they come into the library or I go to their classes with a cart of books and booktalk Mysteries, Realtistic Fiction, Historical Fiction and Mutlitcultural Fiction. I spend my summer reading lots of books so when I go back, I have new ones to add to the others I have read! The kids can't believe I have read that much--but I love it.

Mike McQueen said… Greetings Patty,
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
