[LM_NET] Guided Reading Library

[Serena Hayes <shayes@SYPTEC.COM>]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to LM-NET but have been an elementary school librarian for seven years.   

I have a question concerning guided reading libraries being tracked through the 
school library.  Our superintendent wants the guided reading lab to be located 
inside the library and items to be checked out through the library's automated 
system.  As a result I am in the process of hand cataloging the guided reading 
library (an immense job in itself) as well as trying to find enough space for it 
within the library.  

The principal wants the teachers to have 24-7 access to this lab which would also 
allow them access to the general collection.  I am concerned about losses, lack of 
space for future growth, possible student access etc.  

I am wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this and would be 
willing to share the pros and cons of having a guided reading lab inside the 
library.

I would appreciate any ideas you have and will post any answers I receive.

Thanks
