WHS Library, Chrome, and Canvas Corner

The WCCLS ecard that Westview students will receive later this month will grant students access to the library system’s online databases, ebooks and digital audiobooks. This free service provides us with a collection that is over 100 times larger than our own.

As we move forward with this partnership, it is important to note that students will be taking on new responsibilities* for their learning:
  • Students will automatically be able to download eContent with their new library cards at no charge. This includes ebooks, audiobooks and access to all the online databases.
  • If students wish to check out physical materials from a local WCCLS library, students will need to bring photo ID and proof of address to any WCCLS library to activate this feature of their card.
  • Students can reserve materials online but must pick them up and return them to one of the local branches of WCCLS.  Sunset is not a drop off location for any physical items.
  • Students are responsible for physical items that are checked out from a library.  In general, there is a fine of $0.15 forevery day that an item is late. Some items like DVDs are $1 a day. 
  • Students will be asked to follow the “Terms of Use” agreement that is highlighted on the bookmark that they will receive with their card.
*Parents, as always, have the right to exclude their students from this service.  Please email Westview Library and Instructional Technology Teacher Christina Schulz (christina_schulz@beaverton.k12.or.usif you would like your student to opt out of the WCCLS partnership.

Reminders:
  • If your students' Digital Resource Permission Form was missing their NAME, iD#, Parent Signature, or if the "Yes" was not clearly checked, they will need to resubmit their form.   GoogleAccounts were diabled on Oct. 17th.  Once a form is re/submitted, it should take a minimum of 24 hours for their permissions to be enabled again.  Click here to download tje form:  https://goo.gl/Ltn8mw
