We are just working on this, also. In the past, the video sleeves in
the
bins have been arranged by broad topic for informational titles, and genre
for feature films. Now that they are going to go out on the open
shelves,
we are going to Dewey all the nonfiction - adult, children's and Spanish.
It will be a lot of work retroactively, but for patron access, there really
isn't a better way. We have 9000+ videos. The feature films will
be in
alphabetical order, with the genre label on the bottom of the spine, with
the exceptions of Spanish, Spanish Children's, Foreign, Silents and
Holidays. I'm afraid Foreign and Silents will be lost in the larger
scheme
of things, and people may want holiday titles only 1 time a year for any one
holiday, but then they really want it. Hope this helps, and good luck
to
both of us!

How about some comfy furniture in the adult area for the sleepy adults?
You
might also try, if your layout allows it, playing some popular music in your
YA area (which ought to attract teens and may possibly deter adults).
Also, is your Teen area marked as such? Like with a sign overhead with
the
"name" of your YA space? If not, you should name the area to
make its
purpose clear... You could even call it something like "Teens
Only" or some
such thing.

We catalog our videos in basically the same way that we do our
books. They're generally divided into feature (a movie released in
theaters for entertainment) and non-feature (educational, documentary, TV
series). The feature are shelved alphabetically by the video
title and are near the adult fiction; non-feature are assigned Dewey
numbers and are shelved near the adult non-fiction. Children's are
separated into feature and non-feature and shelved that way in the
children's area. We don't try to sort the feature ones by genre.
Our
goal--as much as possible--is to non-book items in the same general way
that we treat books It seems to be understandable to patrons.
Hope this helps.

Subject: ADINKRA CLOTH RUBBER STAMPS
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2001 10:13:32 CST
I would like to do an Adinkra cloth craft with school aged children as
part of an African folktale program. I've searched the Internet for
rubber stamps of the Adinkra cloth symbols and found one set by Mimi
Robinson. However, according to the description, the stamps are too
small what I want. Does anyone know where I can get a set of Adinkra
symbol stamps- that are larger than 1" square? Please respond to me
personally. When I was in Chicago I was able to borrow a set from the
Field Museum. The program was great, we talked about proverbs and
everyone made a "cloth" on a poster board. I'm a little too far
from
Chicago now... and would like to own my own set anyway. As a last resort
I can make a set. Thank you for your help.

We shelve adult feature films by title, and non-fiction subjects using
Dewey numbers.
Children's videos have a spine label, but we use a light green dot with
the first letter of the title on it above the label and don't aim for
strict shelving. Most children can re-shelve by one letter, and it's
easy to spot misplaced items. We do have a separate non-fiction Dewey
unit for children as well.
We make our own dots with Avery labels and a fat black marker and cover
them with 3M book tape so they last.

I'm not sure what this message was intended to say...that there is too much
talk about YA events and materials on PUBYAC? I thought PUBYAC stood
for
Public Librarians Young Adult and Children's. If so, then why does it
matter if we are discussing YA events and materials more than usual?
Yes, there are other listservs dedicated to just YA services, YALSA-BK and
YALSA-L being some of the more outstanding ones. Given that YA tends
to be
a neglected area in many libraries isn't it a good thing to be discussing
here?
Maybe I just read the message wrong. I hope that I did and that it was
simply pointing out another forum for discussing YA events and materials.

Ingrid,
One thing I did last year for National Library Week was to post
quotations about libraries all over the library. This was while I was
still in reference, (not Youth Services) so the quotations were those
made by adults. What made them successful, was that I made them large
and easily readable in a "bubble quote" format such as the ones on
MTV's
pop-up videos. You can use Microsoft Publisher which has a blank
quotation bubble that can be made into page sized) I
literally put them everywhere where someone might see them- the
bathrooms, copiers, high up,
low, water fountains, fiction, internet terminals- you get the picture.
Some of them were quite funny, and others were more thoughtful and
scholarly.
One teen came up to me and asked when I would be taking them all down.
Thinking he found them objectionable I asked him why. He replied that
he hadn't made his way through the library to read them all, and wanted
to make sure he got to see them. I saved them for him at the end of
the
month. On the day I wanted to take them down- I put a $5.00 bill behind
one of them, then sent an email to staff telling them they could win the
money by helping me take them down. This was of course, popular too.
I know this isn't something to promote your collection as a whole, but
does help raise awareness of the importance of libraries to your
patrons.

I had this same problem when the library that I worked at renovated.
The
teen area had comfy chairs that matched the rest of the decor, but adults
would use them as a napping place. Perhaps you could lobby for some
unusual
furniture to also go in the YA area (like leopard print bean bag chairs).
The kids will use those and adults won't. The adults will also probably not
want to be around the other weird furniture and will find other places to
nap.

One thing that I always do that "wows" them is
personalize the demonstration of microfiche.
I'll pick one boy from the group (usually the best
behaved) and ask him when his birthday is. Then I'll
pick a piece of microfiche from the week that he was
born (Sports Illus. is great if you have it) and then
after explaining what microfiche is and why we use it
I'll "blow it up" for them and explain "this is the
cover of SI from the day Chris was born." They all ooh
and aah and want to look at the car ads and of course
Chris feels really proud.
Usually after the tour is over they all fight over who
gets to look up their birthday next.

I have offered to do a Black History Month program for
a local agency of children grades 1 & 2. Does anyone
have any ideas or has done something that really
worked. I will post all ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Look in Family Fun magazine for March 2001-there is an article on Eric
Carle and the ways to make the illustrations that are in his book.
Paint
and working with a simple design. Something to think about.

Subject: Collage Art in Picture Books
Hello all! I am thinking of doing a program for 5-8 year olds where we'll
take a look at some picture books illustrated with collages and then make
some collages of our own. I have some artists in mind (Lionni, Taback,
Ellen
Stoll Walsh), but was wondering if you all might have some suggestions.
If you e-mail me privately (adrienne@rochester.rr.com),
I'll be happy to
compile a bibliography for the list.
Thanks!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
The School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY,

final decisions. This is the first annual competition for what we hope
will become a major award in our field. This year's award carries a cash
prize of $5,000.
Candidates for the award may be nominated by others or may submit
applications on their own behalf. The deadline for applications is March

Does anyone know where I can find the inventor of the

in Famous First Facts, the Web and Science databases.
Help!

Hey everyone,
I had a patron wanting to track down a picturebook about an extremely messy
family of pigs. One of the pigs goes to school and learns things like
picking up, making order, etc. He comes home and teaches these things
to
the family and eventually they all stop being so messy. Messy Room may be
in the title. None of our children's staff recognized it. It didn't
jump
out at me when searching amazon, oclc and A to Zoo. Does this story ring a
bell with anyone?
Thank you!

Oh, collective minds, I have a doozy. My patron is a retired
Children's
Librarian who remembers buying this book 10 to 15 years ago. There was
supposed to be a sequel to this novel. Heroine is a young teen who
goes
with her divorced mother to an American living history community. Each
person takes on the life of one of the original residents. All of a
sudden the heroine and a young man become part of the original community
and their counterparts are switched to modern times. She is not
switched back by the end of the book -- (therefore a reason for the
sequel). The young man dies -- freezes to death? Another woman
with
three children has also been transported. The way she recognizes the
heroine is by the modern key she wears around her neck.
Your brains are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have a patron looking for a book she read at least 20 years ago.
It's
about two tribes of cats, one tribe lives above ground and one lives
underground. They fight and the leaders of the tribes are brothers.
I've looked through our catalog and amazon.com. anybody have ideas?

I have a stumper from a patron concerning a picture
book with a girl who starts off young and is always
looking up to people and then grows up and has a child
of her own. I am fairly sure that it is not that old
of a book.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All!
Does this ring a bell? Although very vague in her description a patron
is
looking for a picturebook in which she thinks there was a rooster and a
scarecrow and she thinks the scarecrow sneezes at the end. She thinks
it
takes place on a farm. She thinks it rhymes and she thinks the book
was
illustrated with very bright colors. She last took this book out about
4
years ago so it is not a new book.
Thanks in advance for your help.
