The Lewisville Independent School District Provides
a web site, Research
Bookmarks, for teacher and student use. The students can
now log in to the site using their LISD network username and
password, or the user name and password available from the campus
librarian.
On that site, you will find link buttons on the
left column of the web site to useful information including
bibliographic (citation) sites, governmental sites, web site
evaluation guidelines, education "gateways," media
literacy sites, webquests, copyright and plagiarism information,
clip art sites, and content specific sites. We encourage you
to look there first.
In the center of the site, you will find link
buttons to the subscription databases paid for by LISD or by
Region XI. These provide access to thousands of articles, stories,
reports, studies, on the major subjects your students are researching,
as well as copyright free photographs to use the in presentations
through the Multimedia archive.
In the right column, you will find links to the
MARCUS
BOOKMARKS, which provide Marcus students and staff with
additional subscription databases purchased by the Marcus library.
In all cases, a user name and password is required to access
either the Marcus site or the LISD site. these bookmarks are
available by remote access on the internet with the username
and password available from the librarian.
Library Collection:
The
library collection includes both print and non-print materials
available to support your curricular and recreational needs,
as well as those of your students. Included in this collection
are subscription databases of full-text online periodical materials,
transcripts of the interviews, photos and other media, and United
Streaming and Power Media Plus streaming video collections.
Teachers
may check out books for one month with additional renewals.
You may also request that books dealing with specific subjects
be placed on reserve while your students are doing projects
in that area. Please see a librarian to arrange for this service.
Videotapes
and DVD's are available from the AV Software Room. The computer
in the room is linked to the online catalog. To be sure you
have the item, sign up for it on the date(s) you will need it
in the AV Software Sign-Up Book. Items are checked out on the
day of use by signing the BLUE checkout card and placing the
checkout card in the box on the sign-out table near the front
desk. Checkout of software is normally for one
to three days only.
Scheduling Classes:
The
library can accommodate two classes each period. Sign up for
the date and period you wish to have your class come to the
library on the Sign-Up Book near the checkout desk. Be
sure to check all dates for which you are signing up.
The
librarians are available to do orientations to print, subscription
databases, and Internet resources related to the topics on which
your students will be working. Please give librarians at least
a 24-hour notice if you want this done.
If
you have a new project, you will need to collaborate with one
of the librarians so that they can be prepared with the materials
that your students will need, and tailor their instructions
to enhance your objectives in the research activity. At the
outset, you will know how much information the library has available
for your students' projects/assignments.
