Staff:
Welcome information seekers!
Please ask us for help anytime!
Mrs. Jayne B. Johnsen-Seeberger, Librarian (x
1583)
Mrs. Karin Tricarico, Library Teaching Assistant
Borrowing:
You can take 3 books out for 2 weeks & renew them
anytime. No more than one per subject area, please.
Faculty members may sign out a Reference book overnight or for a weekend.
Photocopying:
Photocopying of BHS Library materials is free.
Fines:
We do not charge fines - but we do charge the price of the
book if you lose it. Lost hard cover books cost the replacement
cost of the book. Money is refunded if the book is found. You
will not get your report card (short term) or your cap and gown (long term) if
all library accounts are not reconciled.
Conduct:
Respect your neighboring students and teachers in the
library.
Students are expected to work on assignments or school related projects, or read
quietly.
Food or drinks are not allowed in the library, you can leave them at the front counter.
Computers:
We have 32 computers in the circle and 30 laptops on WiFi. Computers are for educational use only as spelled out in the
District
Technology Acceptable Use Policy on the District's Web Page. You
should read it because by using the South Country Computer System you agree to
abide by this policy. Your library privileges
will be withdrawn for violations.
Stay on task.
Coming to the Library:
Library extra help is every Mon.
During Your Study Hall -
Your study hall teacher receives the library schedule every
Friday for the following week. You may not have access to computers and may even
be able to come for your study hall if
classes have booked the library.
During Lunch -
Check the Library Schedule on the Library door or from home at
http://www.southcountry.org/HIGHSCHOOL/BHS_Library/calendar_for_library.htm . If the
period is grayed out, classes will be using the computers. If the period
is white you should come in the morning periods and ask library staff to write a
green Library Lunch Pass for the
period you want to come.
You MUST have a green Library Lunch pass to get into the
library.
Plagiarism:
Read this and you will understand:
"Plagiarism:
What It is and How To Recognize It and Avoid It", produced by Writing
Tutorial Services, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN
Learning Your Way Around:
Every ninth grade English class gets a one or two day
orientation to the library - your teacher may have this tied to an assignment as
well. BEFORE YOU COME, MAKE SURE YOUR USER ID AND PASSWORD WORK BY COMING TO THE
LIBRARY AND TRYING THEM OUT! We try to cover the library's layout, the OPAC, the
databases, and any other questions or concerns that come up. We want you to be
brilliant information researchers when you graduate.

Have This Book?"
