"The Poly Library: Dusting off the Welcome Mat by Empowering Students and Staff"
A student who is information literate can:
- Access information efficiently and effectively, evaluate information accessed and uses information effectively and creatively.
- Work as an independent learner by pursuing information related to personal interests, appreciating and enjoying literature, and striving for excellence in information seeking and knowledge generation.
- Contribute positively to the learning community by recognizing the importance of information practices, ethical behavior and participating in groups to pursue and generate information.
In a technology and information-based society, it is necessary that students be able to access information in a variety of formats. In order to support the educational goals of the school, the Information Resource Center must be accessible, have adequate materials, equipment, supplies, and staff to meet the needs of the students, faculty and various curricula of the school.
The Information Resource teacher works in cooperation with the classroom teacher to help the students achieve educational excellence. They work to develop and plan a program to teach media literacy, telecommunications and critical thinking skills through independent and integrated lessons, and to promote reading as a lifelong habit.
