Open Disclosure
Course Description, Goals, and Objectives
This course is designed for students who wish to spend one period helping in the Library Technology Center. The following is a list of expectations for each student aide:
1. Willingness to perform tasks as requested, i.e. reading shelves, shelving and organizing materials, inventory, other duties as assigned. Time will be given during class to complete duties and assignments.
2. Students will read one (1) library book per quarter and prepare a book report or complete a project on that book. The book will be of the students own choosing, but must be grade and content appropriate. Book reports will be displayed (all or in part) as a literary review for the library.
3. Identify something to do each day to keep busy and do it. This must be something you can do without staff help.
4. Do not leave the library unless requested to do so by staff to perform a specific assignment. Use of the hall pass is mandatory when leaving the library for any reason.
5. Acknowledge and respect the rights of others. Stay in assigned student aide areas. Disruptive behavior of any kind, including the use of vulgar or inappropriate language, harassing other patrons or Library Staff is prohibited.
6. No food or drink in the library (thereby reducing the risk of possible damage to resources, materials, and equipment).
7. As per school policy, NO portable electronic devices will be allowed in the library. In addition, card playing (i.e. gambling) or electronic game playing will not be allowed in the library. The telephone in the library may not be used for personal calls.
8. The AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) is strictly enforced.
