Global communications makes
the world an information rich
"library". Our goal at the Wilcox Tech
Library Media Center is to teach our student
patrons the importance of information problem
solving. The Library Media
Center is a materials center designed to enrich
the curriculum. Books, magazines, newspapers,
pamphlet materials, microfiche, computers and
computer programs are available for patron use.
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 atmo sphere
is encouraged.
Students using computers in the Library
Media Center comply with the VTSS Policy
"Procedures for Use of Electronic
Information Resources" adopted August 1997.
The "Acceptable Use Standards" are
posted in the Library Media Center.
It is the philosophy of the Wilcox Tech
Library Media Center that every individual is a
lifelong learner. Being organized and knowing
where to look for information is a 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.
