Interlibrary loan
If you think that you are limited to
the material found in the library, you would be wrong. Thanks
to a service called Interlibrary Loan (ILL), we can borrow books
and magazine articles from hundreds of school, public, and
college libraries. The items are sent directly to the B-K-W
library through a courier service and thus no travel is
involved. So, if you can’t find what you want in our online
catalog, please speak to Mrs. Davis and she will be happy to
locate the item and interlibrary loan it for you.
Computer Use and Rules Note: To use the Internet you must have a permission slip
signed by a parent or guardian.
-
Students are welcome to use our library
computers for school-related
research or to type assignments.
-
We discourage students from using the
computers to access personal e-mail. However, students may
ask the librarian first if they must use e-mail for school
purposes.
-
Students are reminded to please ask before
printing out materials.
Circulation Policies
There is no
limit to the number of books that students may check out. Books
may be checked out for three weeks at a time and may be renewed as
needed. Magazines and reference materials cannot be checked out
of the library, but are always available for reading and
research during library hours.
Overdue/Lost Book Policy
If a student has one overdue book, then he/she
cannot take out
another book until the overdue one is returned. Students will
receive an overdue notice when their book is two weeks past the
due date. No student can take books out of the library until the
lost book situation is resolved.
If a book and not been returned by the end of the year, the
librarian will send a notice home directly to the
parents/guardians. The student must pay to replace the book. The
money will be returned if the book is eventually found.
Online Driver Permit Test
Berne-Knox-Westerlo High School students looking to receive
their learner’s driving permit can now take the test via the
Internet in the High School Library. The online test is made
available through the Online Knowledge Test Application program
offered by the State Department of Motor Vehicles.
The service is designed to allow students ages 16 and older to
obtain learner’s permits without the typically long wait at the
local DMV.
Qualified students may stop by the High
School library anytime to pick up a copy of the State Driver’s
Manual.
Some other points to remember:
-
Students cannot schedule their test until at
least one week after they pick up their manual, to allow for
proper study time.
-
Schedule all test appointments with
Librarian Beth Davis.
-
Students must bring a form of picture ID to
their test appointment.
-
Davis will access the testing Web site to
obtain a password for the student. That password unlocks the
test.
-
After the student finishes the test, Davis
will access another site to determine whether the student
passed or failed.
-
If the student passes, he or she is given a
verification print-out to bring to the DMV.
-
Unfortunately, the state specifies this
service is open only to students .
