HS: Textbook rooms

[Becky Kleinhesselink <Becky.Kleinhesselink@SMHS.MEDFORD.K12.OR.US>]

Some librarians have the unfortunate assignment of administering a
centralized textbook depository.  We are thinking of centralizing our texts
into one room and are asking questions about how much staffing that
requires, etc.   A couple of schools around here use Follett textbook plus
for the management software but if there are other options I am unaware of
them.  If you have insight for me other than "Its a Nightmare!!!  Don't do
it", please write.  I want facts and figures, particularly--does it save
your school money to have a textbook room and how much staffing is required?
So far, I have been promised that the text room will not be near the library
and the library staff will not be asked to work in it.  Thanks much!
