LIBRARY MEDIA CENTER

Library Media Specialist - Mrs. Hoffman

Global communications makes the world an information rich "library".  Our goal at the Kaynor Tech Library Media Center (L.M.C.) is to teach our student population the importance of information in problem solving.

The L.M.C. is a materials center designed to enrich the curriculum.  Books, magazines, newspapers, pamphlet materials, computers, computer programs, and the Internet are available for use by staff and student alike.

The Library Media Specialist is on duty to assist patrons with locating materials to complete assignments.  Freshmen receive an orientation program on locating and using materials.  A quiet study atmosphere is encouraged.

Students using the computer in the L.M.C. comply with the School System's Policy "Procedures for Use of Electronic Information Resources" adopted August 1997.  The "Acceptable Use Standards" are posted in the L.M.C.

It is the philosophy of the Kaynor L.M.C. that every student is a lifelong learner.  Being organized and knowing where to look for information is the key step to resolving an issue.  Knowing how to process the information we find to the questions concerning us is the key task facing students today.

Information problem solving is still dependent on literacy skills and applied study skills. Technology may accelerate the process of research but students still require learning competencies to complete the process.
