discussion regarding the exams – interesting (and reassuring) to find out
that teachers are just as annoyed with some questions as I was last year in VCE
:).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I am trying to get a gauge on the systems schools use
for managing their booklists going into a new year. This is in order to
determine whether a new booklist management system would be taken up by
schools. I know from experience that our system was clunky – a huge paper
list of possible books, which required you to rule out <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>the books you didn’t need</span></i> (how much
sense does that make?) before returning the form. We also had no organised method
of buying / selling books – you had to find someone you knew in the year
above you and organise the transaction yourself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>What is the system in your school for managing such
lists? Is it an easy process for a teacher wanting a new textbook to be on the
list to add it? Also, what system (if any) does your school use to organise the
buying and selling of second-hand textbooks amongst students? Finally, if not
already in existence, do you think your school would be willing to implement an
online system that allowed students to submit their booklists online, as well
as providing a method for the exchange of second hand books?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
