Subject: RE: DRA Woes
Dear Bonita:
Do we know DRA? OH, yes. We have DRA in our library (Ann Arbor) and found
even the dumb terminals fairly unfriendly. BUt the new web-based version is
gosh-awful. If you want a list of books by Louisa May Alcott, it CAN'T GIVE
YOU ONE!!! You have to go record by record by record. . .I think DRA's decision
to quit supporting dumb terminals is inexcusable, given the difficulty of the
web-based product. (Data Research Associates is their official name; I doubt
they have done much research) We're messing with the front screens, trying to
make them easier to use; but every search seems to require a minimum of three
cicks to find anything. And if people type in a word in the Your Search box,
the titles come up in no apparent order. If the decision were mine, I'd dump
DRA right away. I don't know what other options are out there, but it's almost
worse than no catalog at all. . .
Am I the only person in the world not convinced that everything should be on
the web? I think part of the reason DRA is so bad is its eagerness to be
web-based.
Sorry about the venting--there's probably a DRA-haters support group out there
somewhere that I should be looking for! Seriously, if you ever find ways to make
the thing work well (especially for children), be sure to share with the PUBYAC
list. Thanks!

ubject: Re: Computer catalogs for kids
Kids do not need thier own catalog because they "get it" is not a very
useful response. Yes the kids get how to use the computer but very rarely
do they seem to understand how the resources are presented. We use CARL in a
regional system and it has worked fine. One of the nice features has been
the Kids Catalog. It provides an interface that kids seem to understand with
minimal instruction and limits the search to juvenile materials which is
important when you work at Central in the Houston Public Library in a
building with 4 floors of materials, government documents and other things.
Kids do get how to use the computer but sorting through 300 entries most of
which are adult or government documents is confusing and unneccesary. The
problem with Kids Catalog is that it must be customized to be useful and
customizing it can take many too many staff hours writing searches for
buttons and customizing lists to appear on the catalog which must be
continually updated. If you are committed to providing a kid friendly
interface that provides direct and easy access it is worth the time to
maintain the bells and whistles otherwise just the limited access (with full
access availible on the same terminal) seems to be useful and seems to
provide kids and parents with some level of comfort that is important.

Subject: Programs for under 3's
Dear List,
Would anyone mind e-mailing me personally with ideas to do with 3
and under's? I am applying for an early childhood grant, and I need to
develop programs in three parts:
I. Programs for the children alone (reading readiness or storytimes)
II. Programs for the parents alone (reading readiness, health issues)
III. Family programming
These ideas do not have to be storytimes, as I all ready provide those for
under 3's. I'm looking for child development ideas. Any really wild,
crazy and different ideas? Does anyone work with outreach programs such
as Headstart or ESL parents or church groups?
Thanks in advance,
Erin

We (Youth services) have had a request to go to an Adult Day care and read

How do other libraries handle requests of this sort? I really feel it is
outside the realm of our expertise - and feel uncomfortable equating
disabled adults with children.
I think I am going to say our department handles up to 8th grade...we
don't do programming for adults, per se. But I would be interested in

ubject: Internet Classes for Parents
Our library is planning a brochure, a web site, and hour-long classes for
parents, to help them feel more confident about having their children use
the Internet (and helping them use it). The course will focus less on
Internet how-to and more on "Internet Safety" including e-mail and
chat
rooms, as well as information about filters. We (the future presenters)
are still learning ourselves, and would appreciate any information on the
following topics:
1. For libraries which have done this course, what topics were parents most
interested in, or most happy that you covered?
2. Where can we find information about listservs and chat rooms that are
kid-oriented?
3. Same for search engines -- I'm aware of Yahooligans, but are there other
search engines geared to sites for children, or ones which you think are
easiest for children to use?
4. I am going to begin looking at sites which offer up-to-date reviews of
filters as well as up-to-date "kid-friendly" sites (we do have all the
information about ALA's sites).
5. Do you have any favorite sites for explaining Internet Safety to parents?
We appreciate answers to these questions and any other related information.
Thanks in advance!

Subject: full vs part-time management
I think that a full time manager is important because they need to be
available to answer questions, handle problems and supervise staff. You
cannot be an effective supervisor if you are not there to supervise.
I disagree with the idea that a part-time worker doesn't do a professional
job. I moved from a full time position to a part-time position in order to
spend more time with my family. I still work as a professional and I think I
work more efficiently because of having less time to get things done. I
usually try not to take work home, but I do when there is a need for it. I
am just as committed to my career as full time professionals. I am also
committed to being a good mother. Working part-time allows me to do both.

Subject: Re: Literacy Event Centerpieces
Fifty table centerpieces and no money is a challenge. You might consider
borrowing like new books from the friends book sale or other donations. Make
stacks of three or four books depending on thickness and wrap colored ribbons
and bows which coordinate with the theme colors. Since the group will be
helping with the gift of reading this will tie in with the meeting agenda.
Depending on the number of different businesses and the types. If there is
enough time you might ask 50 businesses to create their own centerpiece and
supply them for the tables. This would not cost the library anything and
could be very interesting. It would also give the business community a part
in the planning.

Greetings!
My name is Sheila Anderson and I am the Student Liaison Librarian at the
Cumberland County Public Library and Information Center in Fayetteville,
North Carolina. In addition, I am the Chair of the Young Adult Committee,
Public Library Section, North Carolina Library Association. Our committee
publishes a newsletter entitled "Grassroots: For High Risque
Librarians"
and it focuses upon serving young adults in both public and school
libraries. The newsletter includes book reviews, book lists, pathfinders,
annoucements, reports from workshops and conferences, young adult forums,
media reviews, and programming ideas. Published three times per year, we
have two hundred subscribers and most of our writers are within North
Carolina. Grassroots has been published since 1978. An advertisement
about the publication appeared in a recent issue of VOYA.
I am seeking a few new writers. We are a non-profit group, of course, but
if your material is included, I can send you a copy of the newsletter. If
you work with young adults and would like to write about a program that
you have administered, or if you've read a great book lately and would
like to write about it, please contact at the e-mail address listed below.
Also, for the twenty year anniversary issue, I'd like to focus on how
young adult librarianship has changed throughout the twenty year span. If
anyone is interested in writing about this topic, I'd love to hear from
you!
Sincerely,
Sheila Anderson

for return engagements. As travelling storytellers, our love of stories,
people and places shows. We can do shows for specific age groups, but love
to do programs for the whole family as well.
We'd love to tell you more and explore the possibility of performances and
workshops, this Summer or at other times of the year.
Also, as we've been doing for a few years we'd like to offer a free copy of our

As an infrequent poster, constant lurker, and frequent beneficiary of
this list's collective wisdom, I now have a request of my own...
My family is trying to identify a book that my younger brother (born
1971) loved to death as a child. (Literally. We had to buy a new
copy for the town library.) Our memory is that it was called
Chandru, but the spelling may be wrong. It was probably cataloged in
non-fiction. It was mostly photographs of a boy, Chandru, and his
tiger or other feline friend. They lived in a jungle (?), maybe in
Africa, maybe in India. There was text, but I don't remember if it
was like a simple picture book or more dense than that. I have tried
multiple searches on local and state catalogs as well as BIP+ and do
not find it. Anyone?
