E-Progress

Today's library accomplishments were mostly in the electronic mediums of web page design. After an early morning donation of gently used books (thanks Mrs. F!), I got going on both the SCS library webpage on the school site, and also on the newschoolnotes.com page. The page on the SCS website requires login and password through the school website itself, but the schoolnotes page is accessible to anyone searching the web at: http://new.schoolnotes.com/SCSLibraryMediaCenter

We had a visit today from Alex and a technical advisor/visitor re: wiring needed to get our phone working and computers up and running. It appears that things are continuing to move forward toward getting our new computers set up in both the HS and Elementary Rooms so that students will be able to do OPAC searches and use computers for research. We are excited about that prospect as it will provide more computers for students to do title, author, subject and keyword searches on their own. This will foster student independence and engagement in problem solving, as well as critical thinking skills as they practice strategies on how better to find information and materials of interest to them.
