Collaboration

CES has a flexible library schedule. The library is open to all students between 7:45 AM and 8:15 AM daily for use of the computers or check out. All students must have a pass from their teacher. Teachers are encouraged to bring their classes to the library to work on research or computer-based projects with prior arrangement. Teachers must reserve the library one week in advance by contacting the librarian. We love that all students have designated time in the library, but we also want to promote concentration and focused learning, and therefore ask to have only one class at a time in the library due to limited space and seating. 

Teachers who would like to plan direct collaboration with the librarian are welcome to do so by scheduling a meeting during their preparation period or to drop by during the library’s open time. The librarian is ready and willing to provide teachers with printed materials and technological resources for their class. The librarian also encourages teachers to use the librarian as an individual, as a resource who can lead parts of the class in lessons on research techniques, reference and research resources (both print and electronic), citation procedures, summarization techniques, and ways to avoid plagiarism.
