The Media Center at Thurgood Marshall
Elementary School has a collection of over 13,000 print and
non-print materials including books, periodicals, videos,
laser disks, and CD ROMs. The Research Learning Hub includes
seven networked Macintosh computers and a Macintosh
multimedia machine. These are used by the students to access
the library's computerized Patrons' Catalog as well as for
research. An on-line encyclopedia, atlases, magazine index,
educational stand-alone CD ROMs, and various software
programs are available for student use. The library's
circulation system is computerized and students check-out
over 200 items daily including CD ROMS. The Media Specialist meets with classes
regularly in the media center to teach students research
skills and how to become independent users of the library.
Current technologies are incorporated into the curriculum
and used as tools by the students. Visit us to check out
one of our 13,000 books or 200 CD ROMS. Surf the Internet
through Netscape or use many of our reference materials
including on-line encyclopedia, magazine index, atlases and
educational CDs.
