Services for Teachers

Curriculum Development:
Provides multiple websites to help develop teacher curriculum for all subject areas.

Bibliographic instruction:
Bibliographic Instruction is an important service which helps students to be successful when library assignments are given. Bibliographic instruction can be as simple as a brief lesson on using reference materials or as complex as developing topics and search strategies for a research paper. Before signing up for library time, check to see if your students might need some library skills review. Library skills instruction can take place before students begin library assignments.

Inter-Library Loan (ILL):
ILL is a service for anyone who requests a book from another library. South library is fortunate to have established borrowing privileges from libraries in MCCSC as well as from other libraries. To use ILL, just ask, but planning in advance is necessary. It can take up to two weeks to receive the item.

Closed Reserve:
Closed reserve is used by many teachers to insure that all their students in each of their classes have access to materials. A cart of books and materials is selected for a particular assignment. these do not get checked out until the teacher determines all students have had ample time to use those materials.

Audio visual (AV):
Please contact Mr. Farrar at ext. 1078.

AV equipment and/or video tapes are scheduled to teachers' classrooms. Each room has a TV with access to the media retrieval system and cable TV. An overhead projector is also available in each room. The media area also has record players, camcorders, slide projectors, audio cassette/CD players, video editing, and computer projection equipment available for teacher use.
