Are you starting a project that needs Internet access but you don't have enough computers? Did you hear about a nifty website but are not really sure how to use it with your class? Just need help in general?
Then use your library webpage to reserve space, resources, or the librarian!
You may be asking yourself....Why would I have to fill out this form when I can just email, call, or talk to Jackie??
To be honest...I get lots of emails. They take up lots of space (and yes, I do clean out my mailbox often). Your email may get bounced back one day. This form goes to my gmail account that has a GINORMOUS amount of storage. We are safer this way. I am not always IN the library so if you call, I might not be there. Telling me in the hallway is just silliness because I have the short term memory of a goldfish. The form is the best option.
Well you've convinced me! How do I get to this form?
Go to the York webpage --> Library Resources --> Teachers --> Reservation form
If you want to see the calendar first (which is not a horrible idea), follow the same path and choose Reservation calendar instead of Reservation form.
If you would like to see another amazing video showing how all of this is done, click the link below!

When placing a reservation, please explain your project with a reasonable amount of detail. You might not know about resources that we have that can help you. Also, just because you booked the computers or the library tables does not mean that you booked the librarian. If you ask me to speak to your class ahead of time, I will do all that I can to make your and your students' lives easier. If you ask me last minute, I will have to disappoint you 98% of the time. Please plan ahead of time!! There is more information about the calendar and reservation form on the website.
