Li-Blog-ary
The library's digital daily agenda

About / Hours as of October, 2007

The Library is open once again!

Mr. Delaney is on sebatical, so Todd Berman will be the acting Librarian-Artist for the 2007-08 school year.

Contact:

Phone: 415-749-3430 ext. 3354
FAX: 415-771-2322
e-mail: BermanT@GalileoWeb.org

Library Hours:

9:00am - 4:00pm every day.

Borrowing Policies:

Students' Galileo ID cards serve as library cards to borrow books or other materials. Normally the materials can be held for two weeks and can be renewed twice.

Why do we call it a "Li-Blog-ary?":

The Bay Area Writing Project's sponsorship of school library weblogging, here in Galileo's Digital Agenda and in an earlier incarnation, is, we tentatively boast, the first school library Web log initiative in ... the world? At least if you check Peter Scott's very thorough Index to Library Journals, Newsletters and 'Zines, you'll find that we're the first mentioned there (as Martin Luther King Academic M.S.). We started way back in spring semester, 2000. But we're more than a news source. In our Writing Project - influenced vision, we're the academic hub of the school. Click around the home page navigation bars and you'll find links to

• great search engines for students and teachers;
• public and purchased online databases;
• the school chatRoom;
• teachers' trial blog postings and full project sites (Here's an example.);
• a Reflections blog where BAWP SFUSD blogging educators try to figure out what it all means;
• the librarian's "take it anywhere" virtual office;
• the library's school year calendar;
• a link to our local branch of the public library, providing
• a recently launched (October, 2002) connection to a UC Berkeley-provided learning management system portal;

A detailed listing of the library's mission and goals can be found at this link. Comments and questions (including debunking of our boasts) are welcome. You can, if you must, e-mail to the work account of Mr. Delaney, your harried and slightly loud librarian, his associate webmaster, Harry (shown to the left), and their spectacularly brilliant, helpful and polite teaching assistants.

Or (much better idea) you can simply click the 'Add a Comment' button below. That will open a text box in which you can write a response. (It doesn't render html, so don't get fancy.) Be nice! Harry's getting along in years and can't bear too much criticism. Makes him sleepy.

I was one of the school board members (Seattle area) visiting last Monday, and wanted to let you know I'm very impressed with the li-blog-ary - so much info, so many links! I will forward the address to our high school librarians & see what they think...

Really enjoyed the library visit on the open-house tour last night. It's refreshing (and unfortunately rare) to see a public school librarian who's so enthusiastic and excited about his work.
