About the Library Visit the About the Library link & answer
the following questions with a partner:- How many books can students check out & for how long?- How do researchers use library databases?-Why should you consider using our
library’s databases for research?
GREAT NEWS! Last year, iTech students were in the top 3 among all schools for
usage stats of databases even though we are one of the smallest schools in the
district!
Library ServicesCheck out…Books & MagazinesTextbooks (see classroom teacher & fill out the checkout form with barcode)Headphones & Mice (daily checkout)Cameras (daily checkout with teacher approval)Databases, a collection of online resources the district pays for to support student researchResearch support- set up an appointment for 1-on-1 or small group research help
Don’t forget to let me know any book requests you have. I base our
purchasing on what students are interested in!
Library Databases & Resources
Can you find how many students have visited the library homepage just since
September?
Visit the Library Homepage & answer the following questions with a partner:
How many databases are there? Name 3 resources that are available for
assignments (Example: Khan Academy). Where on the webpage can you find
information about Digital Citizenship at iTech? Where on the webpage can you find MS & HS
resources with links to online textbooks, project resources, & library presentations?
That’s all great but do we even have a library?
The bigger our school gets, the larger our library will become! As for now, we will be considered small but MIGHTY
MS Library Location: in the hallway next to the Fab Lab & in the new Book Room HS Library Location: We’ve moved! An area will be set up by the copiers for students to peruse books, work on projects, and just get away from it all
But…how do I check a book or magazine out?
If Mrs. Nedved is not on campus, just fill out the checkout form. Don’t forget to include:
First & Last Name Student ID Number Title of book Barcode # (Example: T 24344) Date of checkout/in
What about headphones, mice, & cameras?If Mrs. Nedved is not on campus, see Cedar at the HS and Mrs. Jill or Mrs. Arica at the MS
