Searching and Requesting Classroom Library Materials Using LION

You will need a computer with Internet access, and a list of subjects, titles or keywords for which you want to search.
Direct your internet browser to the Classroom Library homepage in LION at http://lion.dpsk12.org/search~S137/
In the search box, type in your keywords, author, title, etc.
A list of all items pertaining to your search will display. Click "Add to cart" for the items you would like to request from the Classroom Library.
Be sure that the books you are requesting are available and belong to the Classroom Library before adding them to your cart.
To view the cart, click the "My Cart" link in the top-right section of your browser window.
Make sure that all the books you want to request are checked, and then click the button that says "Save to list".
You will be prompted to log in. Enter your last name and staff/student ID number, and then click the "LOGIN" button.
Choose to add the items to an existing list, or save them to a new list. (This allows you to work on a request to the Classroom Library for as long as you need, on different computers at different times.)
You can review the contents of your list within My LION:
Please be advised there is a limit of 30 books for any basket request.
When your list is complete, email (ERSClassroomLibrary@dpsk12.org) or phone (720.423.8120) the Classroom Library and tell them your FULL NAME, your SCHOOL, and the NAME OF THE LIST you would like to order.
The book basket will be delivered to the school office with your name on the attached tag. Books are checked out for 30 days and may be renewed with a phone call or email.
A due date is listed on the receipt tape provided with your basket. Return the basket BEFORE this date to the school office AND with the enclosed red tag tied to the outside of the basket. It is not necessary to call for pickup. (More detailed instructions are included with the book basket.)
