If
you are a Librarian at an educational institution (elementary school,
middle school, high school, community college, or university/four-year
college), you have arrived at the section of the Mariachi for Gringos
website created expressly for you.
If, on the other hand, you are a Librarian at
a public library (city, county, state, federal, non-profit, etc.), you
have also arrived at the right location.
If you are in the first category, the primary
question you need answered is...how do I acquire Mariachi for Gringos
for my school's library?
If you are in the second category, the primary
question you need answered is actually the same...but you will pursue
a different path to receive the appropriate answer.
As
the school-based Librarian, your first move would be to get approval
from your District's Media Office to put Mariachi for Gringos
into your permanent collection. In the Chula Vista Elementary School
District, for instance, librarians from several schools that are part
of Californa's largest K-6 district decided to pursue just such a course
of action. After the initial school-based request, the author made a
presentation to the key people at District Headquarters and the approval
was granted.
