Library+Support

=** HOW THE LIBRARY CAN HELP **= Assessing your wants and needs for teaching your support class may come down to getting the right teaching and student resources, which, more often than not, are readily available at a library. This libray support page aims to provide you with some useful links and local resources to help you on your way.

**__LIBRARY RESOURCES AVAILABLE:__** fiction (easy reading, dyslexic reads, graphic novels, picture books, novels, classics, dvds) non fiction (reference, ESOL, easy reading, graphic works, dvds), audio tapes and cds, pod casts, relevant internet links, magazines, school journals, teaching resources, library lesson plans, databases (including EPIC), e-books = =  __**5 STEP RESOURCE PLAN** __ 1) Make contact with me: Debbie (Library Manager) on ext. 729; or email me: Price-EwenD@freyberg.ac.nz with a list of topics you will be teaching your support class for the year. The sooner you do this, the sooner I can help you get the resources that will suit your student's individual and group needs.

2) Once I know your list of topics, we will be able to survey the school library's collection first . You may be required to pop on over at this stage to view the resources put aside for you.

3) If you are happy with the type and number of resources I can supply, we need go no further. However, if you need more or if the library has definite gaps, then we need to go to step 4:

4) At this stage, we can do two things: a) Contact the National Library (0800 17 17 17) and make a specific request and/or 2) identify the gaps at our own library, and fill them as quickly as possible. This will mean sourcing books, dvds, etc from suppliers, getting the right prices and ordering the resources in.

5) The resource list that we create will also be given to you and you may choose to pass it onto your HOD. These resources (particularly books but also dvds) may be required in future as class-sets or department collections, so this is something your department will need to decide. Regardless, the library will hold its own collection for you to borrow at any time.
