Summer school classes also received database instruction utilizing those which would be most relevant to the assignments they were completing in
the library. The most frequently used were World Book, Brittanica, Culture Grams, EBSCO (Health and Literary Reference Center), History Study Center, and Gale Virtual Reference Library. Posted is the DISD databases accessible to students, faculty and staff.
The library was visited by social studies, health and English classes. Since most of the students were from Carter High School, I hope the librarians there will see a few more students who will be using the databases. They're a great resource, and I hope to encourage students to become more comfortable using them this school year.

In April, it was determined a librarian was needed to fill the summer school librarian position, preferably one the librarians on staff. Since my co-librarian had submitted her resignation about this time, I agreed to fill the position. We were asked to create a page to submit to teachers about services our library provides. I will be including that page, with layout borrowed from the head of the summer school training. KHS additions included equipment available for checkout and web sites for more information. Teachers checked out carts, overheads, and some KHS math teachers utilized document cameras which had been assigned to them in the spring. Additionally, I was able to show a few teachers how to access videos electronically using the Power Videos available through Dallas County Schools (http://www.powervideos.org/)
