The representive will give the student or teacher information needed to reserve the classroom. There are 3 classrooms that students and teachers can reserve, two of them with computers.
Research modules are links on both the student and Library webpages that provide details pertaining to certain grade level projects, such as research papers or webpages.The research modules are divided by grade level, however not all grade levels have a research module. Research modules are databases used to find specific information sources within a main database. What students can use these modules and for what classes do they provide information. All students can use the research modules, specifically the students who are in the classes that have a research module. The Research modules provide information for Fifth Grade History, Sixth Grade History, Eighth Grade History, Ninth Grade History, and Tenth Grade History. Students use these reasearch modules to research topics for reports or other school papers. These sources are acurate, while sites off the internet are not always correct. The Moncrief Library provided a wide variety of reasearch modules for various kinds of researching.
