Hi,
We are just wondering if any of you have a policy at your library on pulling
items for patrons, for example, a teacher calls and wants us to pull books
on butterflies, or bats, etc. Do you have a set amount of books or items you
allow to pull for this person? A set amount per subject? Is it a written
policy or just a procedure you follow?
Any help or advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi!
We have an older computer that we keep several games
on for very young kids to play when they are in the
library. I am afraid that the piece of equipment that
plays the CD-ROMS is not going to last much longer.
Has anyone used Virtual CD or any program that loads
the CD's to the hard drive?? Or have any other
suggestions?? PLease respond to me off list, I will
compile if there is interest.
Thanks,

I run a book club and find that the kids respond to a short story session -
really well - i also read out chapters or samples for books and then the kid
can read it for herself and then discuss it with you at a later date - i
just feel that this way it can encourage kids who are not fast readers to
coe along and experience books

I applaud Jennie Stoltz's efforts, and all the PUBYAC folks who sent
e-mails to Gale in an attempt to reduce the SATA volume load and get
their information on line.
While you wait for an answer, I wanted to make you all aware that there
IS already a fine database available for research on children's/YA
authors and illustrators. The H. W. Wilson Company put its Junior
Authors and Illustrators series on line several years ago with a
database of over 2000 entries. The Junior Authors series was the first
of its kind; the earliest print edition of The Junior Book of Authors
appeared in 1934 and was revised in 1951. Subsequent volumes (More
Junior Authors, Third Book of Junior Authors, etc.) all included new
entries. The newest print volume, the 8th Book of Junior Authors and
Illustrators, c2000, changed the old format of the series and included
20 updated entries on major authors from earlier volumes along with 180
new entries.
The print volumes are all still in print, though of course many of the
entries are out of date. Most of those older authors' profiles have had
information and bibliographies updated for the electronic edition.
As the editor of the 8th Book of Junior Authors, (and a former librarian
who used the series extensively) I enjoyed changing the format and look
of the interior pages of the print volume and adding information to the
authors' statements that I knew researchers would want to know. Now I
am at work on the 9th Book of Junior Authors (to be published in 2004),
and would welcome any requests of authors and/or illustrators you have
had trouble finding. At 8 volumes rather than 130, the Junior Authors
series is a viable print alternative for libraries that cannot afford SATA.
To access a trial subscription to Junior Authors and Illustrators
database go to Wilson's web site:
http://www.hwwilson.com/
Click on Free Trials, then on WilsonWeb Next Generation Technology 30
Day Trial
You will find the Junior Authors series under the heading of Biography
Databases.
I am interested in feedback from PUBYAC folks on the Wilson series,
either the print edition or the electronic. You can contact me at
connie.rock@snet.net.
H. W. Wilson also now has its Standard Catalogs on line: Children's
Catalog, Middle School Catalog, Senior High Catalog, etc.

from the 1940's.
According to her, "It was mostly black and white, and
about a little boy and old man who lived under a
bridge. It was black and arch-shaped and had
make-shift shanties underneath. There were barrels of
trash which they picked through. They both wore long
coats, and the little boy had a big black umbrella.
There was also a little dog.

Here's $.02 on our experience with the Henty's:
Over a year ago, when we first discussed enhancing our services for =
homeschoolers, I mentioned to my supervisor that purchasing the Hentys =
would be a worthwhile investment. I had seen numerous advertisements for =
the reprints and talked to people with high regard for his writing, so I =
knew that there would be demand for them. Initially we only purchased the =
twelve that were then available. Later, we purchased the other two dozen, =
and they have been very well-received. When I visit homeschool groups and =
mention that we have the Hentys in our collection (among the many other =
resources and services we've developed), their eyes light up. To them, the =
cost is prohibitive, but for us, the experiment has been successful. We =
now have a respectable "Homeschool Resource Center," and the Henty's =
continue to circulate steadily.
If you're interested, I would be happy to list the most popular titles, =
the ones that never stay on the shelf, and you could try a few. If you do, =
mention it to some homeschooling families, or submit a note to some of the =
newsletters and let them know you have them. Word really gets around.
As to their content, I have been told that they are very historically =
accurate. Regarding the imperialism question--are they any worse than =
Babar and Curious George?=20
Although Henty's writing style is more challenging than what we are used =
to, I know of several families who read them aloud together and enjoy them =
that way. A couple times I've been told that a particular title didn't =
"work" for someone, but that's okay. There are plenty of popular items
=
that don't "work" for me, either. It's a matter of personal taste.
More =
often I hear that someone "couldn't put it down." I personally read =
Henty's "In the Reign of Terror" about the French Revolution, and
enjoyed =
it very much.
Thanks for asking!
Sincerely,
Megan

I just read a new book that would fit this theme. It is "Audrey and
Barbara" by Janet Lawson. A young girl and her cat take a imaginary
trip to
India in a bathtub boat. It is short enough for storytime and has cute
illustrations.
In addition, I wrote a fingerplay several years ago on this subject.

Dear Pubyaccers,
Help! I would like to use a book in my story-hour next week that I have
used before, but I can't remember title or author. I hope you can help.
Here's what I do remember.
A little boy's mother gets a new vacume cleaner. It arrives in a big
cardboard box. Later in the day, the doorbell rings, and there is the box
again. Mother feels in each handle hole and tries to guess what's in the
box. It turns out to be the best present of all, the little boy. The
cover
is made to resemble corragated card-board and has a handle hole. the last
page opens out from all four sides to reveal the little boy. I've tried A
to Zoo under presents and I've searched and searched in our catalog and
amazon under every obvious title I can think of and I can't seem to come up
with it. Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance,

Subject: Re: Teen magazines
Hi,
It is funny that you have asked this question because I have had three =
young
teen boys asking for Scrye this week. The magazine is almost 10 years =
old.
It does a pretty good job covering card collectible games (like Magic the
Gathering). It is similar to Nintendo Power, but the conventration is
different.
