Purpose+Statement





=** PURPOSE STATEMENT: ** = Our vision is to ensure that students and faculty become effective users of ideas and information, building together a foundation that supports lifelong learning. The CES Library/Media Center promotes learning through a multitude of resources, including fiction books and reference materials, and online databases. We invite you to explore and learn along with us.

Computers in the CES lab are available for internet research. Internet usage is monitored by a security system to provide safety to students and the school. The system provides virus protection and safety during research.

Students are encouraged to use **Arkansas Traveler Databases** for research. Information for home access can be obtained from the Librarian. The State of Arkansas has made this research tool, which consists of full-text resources of encyclopedias, reference books, magazines, newspapers available for home and school.


 *  Concourse Opac **, the automated catalog system, allows access to the CES automated card catalog throughout the school facility. All Media Center materials can be searched--books, periodicals, videos, etc.Concourse is updated daily as new materials arrive.

New materials are added to the CES collection throughout the year and are selected to enhance classroom instruction. The Library/Media Specialist is Mrs. Mason.
