Library Book Lists Online

July 6, 2009

Not sure who knows about this or how often it is used but all of our libraries have a list of their book collections online. The only catch is that they are only available from inside the district.

Here is a link to a nice resource that addresses some different fair use scenarios.

Dell Discounts for Staff and Students

November 5, 2008

I need to be very clear that it isn’t our job to promote any particular company over another. We are not an advertising outlet for anyone. But once in a while, we receive info from a company regarding special discounts for staff and/or students. This is one such case.

Dell is offering educational discounts to Fife staff members and students. If you are considering purchasing a Dell and would like more info, you can call 1.800.695.8133 or visit www.dell.com/eppbuy. You can also contact me at kjohnson@fife.k12.wa.us and I can send you an email with more info.
