We presently have the following types of audio-visual equipment:
Circulation of A-V Equipment
All audio-visual equipment must be checked out of the library each morning and checked back in at the end of the day. All library audio-visual equipment is to be locked in the library when school is not in session—nights, weekends, holidays, and summer vacation. Vocational teachers have their own equipment. This equipment is locked in their rooms.
Yearly Checkouts
Having a piece of equipment, such as an overhead projector, in your room for the school year has to be an administrative decision. Since the amount of equipment is limited, it is difficult for us to let you check out a piece of equipment for the school year. If you have a special need—no textbook, etc.—please discuss it with Mr. Shipley/Ms. Browder and we will see what we can do. Everyone’s cooperation is appreciated.
If you have a piece of equipment in your room
for the school year, be sure you lock your room each night and each weekend.
Please lock the equipment in a storage closet if you have one.
A-V Equipment Reservations
As soon as you know you are going to need audio-visual equipment, you should reserve that equipment. There is an Audio-Visual Reservation book on the circulation desk in the library. Sign up for the equipment for the day you need it—record the date you reserved the equipment, your name, and your room number. (If you do not have a TV in your room and you need a VCR, you must reserve a TV and a VCR).
Rooms with Television Monitors (Channel One)
If you have a television monitor on the wall in
your room, you will not need to reserve a television. You may connect
a VCR or laserdisc player to your television monitor.

If you have the Internet at home you can check out our collection at:
For the benefit of the English teachers, we are in the process of developing an author index.
Feel free to check the collection for audio-visual software you might need in your class.

VHS Tapes
We would like to request that all teachers be extra careful in selecting videos they plan to show in the classroom. There are certain guidelines which need to be met before showing a video.
Please preview videos before you show them. Teachers should never show a video in the classroom without previewing it first. Just because we order items out of catalogs which are supposed to be appropriate for schools does not make it so. We cannot view every video or read every book. We need you to do your part to help.
Please check the videos in the library. If you plan to show a video which is included in your lesson plan for the next week and you have never viewed the video, we suggest you check out the video for the weekend and make sure there are no surprises (nudity, profanity, etc.) before you show it to your students. If you do find any surprises, we need to know about them immediately.
Also, please observe copyright laws.
|
Any video shown in your classroom is supposed to be directly related to your lesson or subject area. (We know the following is done often, but it is our responsibility to remind you: Any video shown as a reward to your class and that has nothing to do with your subject matter is a violation of copyright laws.) Just be careful what you show. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in this effort.
Teachers must come to the library and check out videos or send a student for a specific title. Never send a student to select a "movie" for you or ask the librarians to select a video for you. We do not know what you are teaching and videos must be related to your subject matter or curriculum.
We invite you to come in and check out a video. Also, please check out a book to read. (We need teachers to read books which have been donated to make sure they are appropriate for a high school library.)
Any movie you bring from outside sources (not from the library collection) must be approved by Mr. Shipley before being shown. Correlation between the movie and your curriculum must be justified.
Cardinal Career Center
We have the Cardinal Career Library in the back section of the main library. Principal Grant Shipley has purchased five computers and desks for career research. We have purchased a large collection of career books, video tapes, and computer programs. If you are planning to do a unit on careers please let us know so we can get prepared for your visit.
Game Board
We have a game board which you can check out of the library in order to play games such as jeopardy, word games, etc.
Channel One
Channel One is controlled from the library. Every classroom which has a television monitor on the wall will be able to view the Channel One news program each morning. Channel One is shown at 9:06 each morning unless we have testing.
The Channel One Connection is a series
of programs which can be taped at night for your classes. Channel
One puts out a calendar of these programs at the beginning of each
month. If you would like to have one of these calendars, you may
pick up a calendar and request card from the counter in the copier room
in the library. The schedule for programs is as follows:
| Monday | Social Studies |
| Tuesday | Language
The Arts |
| Wednesday | Math
Science & Technology |
| Thursday | Health & Fitness
School to Work |
| Friday | Media Mastery |
When you check out a piece of A-V software, please check to see if there is a "Teacher's Guide" label on the box. We have a complete file of teacher's guides which come in handy for classroom discussions, etc. If the software comes with a guide, you may check out the guide also.

|
|
The BHS Library is fully automated. We have an electronic card catalog. All circulation is done through the computer. Each teacher and staff member is given a circulation number to be used on the computer. Students are entered into the computer by their social security number.
Manual Check-Outs
Please do not take anything out of the library without letting us know. All items have a barcode number. If you need to take something from the library and there is no one to check it out to you, please do a manual checkout. There is a "Manual Checkout" form (blue form) on the circulation desk. Please record the necessary information—date, your name, name of item, and barcode number of item. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Magazines/Newspapers
We subscribe to over 70 magazines and newspapers for use in the library. These items are to stay in the library at all times. Please do not ask to take a magazine or newspaper from the library. Do not send a student to get you a magazine or newspaper. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
If you need old magazines and/or newspapers for your classes, please let us know. We will share.
|
|
For the 2001-2002 school year we will have 25 computers in the library for research purposes. We will have three computers housing the electronic card catalog in the middle of the library. We also have two computers in the multimedia room/teachers' room for teachers to use.

The school copier is located in the library. Teachers access the copier using the last four digits of their social security number. Please clear your number before you leave the copy room during each visit.
Copier Limits
We are very lucky at BHS to have the Xerox copier
we have. It is the "cadillac" of copiers. Teachers are given
a set number of copies for each month. If circumstances warrant your
having to have extra copies each month, please check with Ms. Browder or
Ms. Helms.
|
Remember: The Librarians Do Not Make Copies for Anyone
We sincerely appreciate everyone’s cooperation in this area. Please do not ask us to make copies for you. Please do not put students in the middle by sending them to ask us to make copies for you. But we will be glad to do the following for you regarding the copier:
Please help to keep the copier room clean. If you open a pack of paper, please put the wrapper in the garbage can. Please check the work area before you leave.
Paper Use
With all the copying and directed-study printing, we use a lot of paper. This is to be expected, but we do need everyone to make a special effort to conserve paper whenever possible. Please use the front and the back of the sheet when you can. You get the copies you need and we save paper. Thanks for everyone’s effort.
Replenish Paper Trays
We try to replenish the paper trays every time we use the copier if we see the paper is low. You can tell this by looking at the green lights on the front of the paper tray. If you are making a lot of copies, please take the time to open a pack of paper and put it in the copier so the copier will be ready for the next person.
Transparencies
You can make a transparency on the copier. Anything you can copy, you can make a transparency of it. We have "special transparencies" that we have to use which go with our copier. Please ask for instruction the first time you use one.

We would like to request that everyone be as quiet as possible when they enter the doors of the BHS Library. Students deserve a quiet and orderly library when they are there to read and/or study. Please respect their right to have this. Please whisper when you are talking to another teacher or to a student. Please open and close the doors as quietly as possible.
Copier Room: The copier is a major noise maker which can distract the students. If you try to talk to another teacher in the copier room, you have to raise your voice so loudly that it carries out into the library. Please keep your conversation to a minimum in this area. Thank you for your cooperation.
|
|
The library hours are from 7:25 to 2:55 each day. If a teacher needs to use the copier, Mr. Will Bledsoe usually opens the door and turns on the copier when he arrives at 6:30 a.m. You may use the copier after school also.
|
|
All equipment is requested through Mr. Grant Shipley, BHS Principal, and Ms. Dornetha Taylor, County Supervisor. We ask for additional equipment each year to accommodate the addition of new faculty members. If you have a special need, you might want to discuss this with Mr. Shipley.
A-V Software and Books
The library is appropriated funds in the fall (usually October) for the school year. We will ask all teachers to turn in their requests at that time for audio-visual software and books they need in the library to supplement their instructional program. We make every effort to get the things the teachers need and want.
Students are asked to turn in requests for specific titles and subjects in which they would like to have in the BHS library.
Consideration File
We would like all teachers to keep a consideration file. If you get a brochure through the mail or see an item (a-v software or book) in a catalog that you would like to supplement your program, put it in your file. Then when we ask for order requests in the fall, you will have already done some of your research.
Order Catalogs

Room or Teacher Work Center. We file catalogs by media type or subject
areas. You can find catalogs under the following divisions:

|
|
| 1. | Students deserve a quiet and orderly library when they are there to read and/or study. Please respect the rights of others. Be thoughtful and try to keep the library a pleasant place for reading and studying. |
| 2. | The books in the library belong to the school. They are to be used and not abused. Any student checking books out of the library will be held responsible for taking care of those books. Books that are lost or damaged must be paid for by the student. |
| 3. | After using a book, students should place the books back on the shelf where they belong. If he/she cannot do this properly, he/she should put the book in the book return slot so the librarian can shelve the books. Remember: A book not shelved correctly is a lost book. |
| 4. | Students may check out three books at a time. The books may be kept for a period of two weeks. The books can be renewed one time unless there is a waiting list or the teachers ask that the books not be renewed. (Reference books, encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, and CD’s are checked out in the library for the hour. They cannot be taken from the library.) |
| 5. | All checkouts are done through the main library computer. Students may not check out a book unless they can present a BHS student I.D. or be able to tell the librarian his/her social security number. |
| 6. | If teachers permit reserve books to be checked out, students may check these books out at the end of the school day. The books must be returned the following school day before first period begins. |
| 7. | Students are encouraged to return books on time. If books become overdue, students will be charged a fine of ten cents a day for each school day the book is late. (Students are not charged for Saturdays, Sundays, or school holidays.) The overdue fine for a reserve book is $1.00 plus 25 cents a period for each period the book is late. |
| 8. | Students who owe a library debt may not check out any materials in the library until he/she clears the debt. Students on the Debt List at the end of the semester should clear his/her debt before being permitted to start classes for the next semester. |
| 9. | Students may have copies made on the copier or from a computer (Internet, etc.) for ten cents a page. Students using the color printer will be charged 25 cents a page. A librarian or library assistant must assist the students in their copier use. Students must get permission from the librarian before using the computer printers. |
| 10. | Students are only permitted in the main library. They may not go in the library offices or work areas without permission of the librarian. |
| 11. | Students coming to the library from a classroom must sign in at the Circulation Desk. (Teachers must check with the librarian before they send anyone from the classroom to use the library. Teachers are also encouraged to let the students remain in the library until the end of the period to keep down traffic in the hallways.) |
| 12. | Students cannot leave the library to return to the classroom or to go to any other area in the building without permission from the librarian. Student library assistants cannot give permission to anyone. |
| 13. | When students come from Directed Study, they must be seated two to a table. |
| 14. | When students come with a class, the entire class is to be seated together at the tables with the classroom teacher supervising the group. The classroom teacher is responsible for keeping the class quiet while in the library. The classroom teacher should remain with the group at all times. |
| 15. | When reading a magazine or newspaper, students are asked to put the magazines and newspapers back neatly and in order. Newspapers are to be put back in order according to sections—A, B, C, etc. |
| 16. | Students must have the librarian's permission to use a computer and sign in at the computer in which they plan to use. |
| 17. | Students are discouraged from bringing backpacks or wearing heavy coats in the library. All backpacks should be placed under the front windows when entering the library. |
| 18. | The librarian is more than willing to help students whenever the need arises, but students are encouraged to learn as much as possible about the library and become independent in using the library. |
| 19. | Students should remember that reading and computer technology are important parts of their education. |
| 20. | Students are encouraged to visit the library often. |

If you would like to reserve the library for your class, we have a "Class Reservations" book on the circulation desk. Please sign up at least one week before you need to come to the library so we can plan accordingly. When you reserve the library, please sign up for the periods you will be coming under each date—put your name and the purpose of the visit.
Please fill out the "Class Reservations Form" in front of the book. This will give us some idea of what you plan to do while you are in the library and give us an opportunity to make any advance preparations.
Conference Room Reservations
BHS has two conference rooms—one in the main office and one in the library. The conference room in the main office may be reserved through Ms. Gail Wakefield, Receptionist. The conference room at the back of the library is shared by the library and the guidance department. If you would like to reserve this conference room, please sign the "Conference Room Reservation" book which is located on the circulation desk in the library.
Meetings in Library
If you need to have a meeting in the library before school, during club schedule, after school, or at night, please check with us first. This will help us to avoid scheduling conflicts.
If you have to move any tables and chairs for your meeting, please return them to their original positions before leaving the library.
Directed Study
After the Directed Study program is set up each period of the day and is successfully underway, students may come from Directed Study to the library. This is only after the students have met their commitments in Directed Study.
Directed Study teachers should check with the librarians before they send anyone to the library. If the library can take students from Directed Study, we will send back a sign-in sheet. The librarian will let a maximum of 15 students come to the library from Directed Study each period.
Library Passes
Students who have a library assignment and need to do research can ensure entrance to the library from Directed Study if they have a green library pass. (Library passes will be put in each teacher's mailbox. Additional passes can be requested by the teacher.) Teachers can only write library passes for students who have a library assignment for his/her class. Example: Science teachers cannot give a student a pass to do an English report. Do not give a pass to a student just because they want one--give them a pass because they have to do an assignment for you
