Know & Go Updates @your Library
High School Database Subscriptions Nancy recommends acquiring the quotes, bids, sole source letters, etc. for the databases you wish to purchase/renew with LMS budget funds, in 2017-2018. Your budget amount for databases will remain the same. Completing this now will keep the subscriptions running smoothly. Reminder, if the database is not a sole source, and is over $ 1000.00, you will need to obtain 3 bids (email is fine). If it is a sole source, please request a current sole source letter along with your quote. Once you have obtained all info to renew, please forward/share with Jim Hepler. Jim and Nancy will work together this summer to ensure all databases are renewed in a timely matter. Standing Order Info FYI, if either Guinness Book or World Almanac is on your standing order list, Library Services will no longer order it Nancy will be removing them from our standing order renewal list for 17-18. Parkway did not receive our orders for the academic year 16-17. If you wish to purchase, please do so through Follett. All other standing orders will be ordered/purchased. Surplus Book & Sale The District annual book sale will be at Central Middle this year and open to the public on June 16 from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm and on the 17th from 8:00 am until noon. As you get your books together and send Jim the notification that your surplus books are ready to be picked up, please make sure to follow the following guidelines. ● All books should all be in boxes with lids and not weigh more than 50 pounds. ● Please be sue that the boxes are not much larger than the size box that contains copy paper. Both of these help with logistics and moving those books. Please do not use larger sized boxes. Anything box that we send to you from library services should suffice. NOTE:This month’s surplus property sheet will be the last one approved in time for this summer's book sale. So if you want materials to be taken away for this year's book sale, you need to have your email sent to Jim by April 21st. The procedure guide is located here:goo.gl/aLmrda Destiny Final Due Dates Set Jim set the final due dates in Destiny, which means that these dates will be the last possible day a book will be due, depending on patron type.For faculty members, the final day is May 25th. For students, May 11th. If you would like to move up these dates to an earlier time, you have the ability to do this. It's under Back Office --> Library Policies. Under Patron Type, change the Final Due Date for the ones you'd like. Contact Jim for help. What does it mean to be a librarian in the digital age?
