Who chooses the Web sites in SchoolRooms Basic?
Most of those who selected the original Web sites in the Rooms taxonomy (upper left frame) are Ohio educators who answered a call from INFOhio to assist in this project. Use the Room Contributors link in the main menu of most pages to see a list and read brief bios.

Results in Best of Web™ are found by using keywords and concepts from the taxonomy sites to search selected World Wide Web sites. Basing Best of Web searches on the hand-picked SchoolRooms sites leads to more high-quality results that can be targeted to grade level and age-appropriate content. Read more...

How are the sites maintained?
SirsiDynix employs a team of educators - many are original contributors - to monitor each Room on a regular basis. SchoolRooms Advisory & Maintenance (SAM) Committee members check each site, making changes to improve the quality and reliability of SchoolRooms. The company uses Web site evaluation software to search for broken links, as well.

What do I do if I find a broken link or want to suggest a new link?
Use the Help Evaluate box in the right frame of the SchoolRooms Basic home page. INFOhio passes such comments along to SirsiDynix and to the SAM Committee.

How can I suggest general SchoolRooms Basic improvements?
While most of the SchoolRooms features are determined by SirsiDynix, INFOhio Technical Support staff is responsible for some of the screen elements and arrangement. Submit your suggestions with the Comments/Suggestions link in the Help Evaluate box in the right frame. INFOhio will consider your comments for our next release or will pass along your ideas to SirsiDynix, whatever is more appropriate. Since the 2007-2008 school year will be used to evaluate SchoolRooms Basic, we welcome everyone's comments.

What can I do about blocked sites?
Blocked SchoolRooms Basic sites usually occur because of the settings of your Web monitoring software. Contact your technology coordinator to unblock individual sites that you consider appropriate for your students.

Why do I have to enter the INFOhio username and password to use SchoolRooms Basic?
While INFOhio staff and Ohio educators have helped develop SchoolRooms, the product is the intellectual property of SirsiDynix. INFOhio is able to provide SchoolRooms Basic free to Ohio's PreK-12 community during the 2007-2008 school year, as long as we insure that access is restricted to eligible patrons. At some point authentication may be by library account number and password; currently, the INFOhio Core Collection username and password, using only lower case, may be required.
