Rules and Regulations
I. INTRODUCTION
The School Library is an integral part of education. It is a place to learn, think, to use materials and absorb and synthesize their contents.
Educators are aware that learning is accelerated and broadened by the use of varied multi-sensory devices and materials. The libraries have become increasingly important in teaching, for they supply enrichment materials in all areas and provide pertinent resources in all levels of learning difficulty. They store books, pictures, pamphlets, globes, maps, toys, CD’s, and other prints as well as non-print collections make them a veritable goldmine to every teacher and pupil.
Student who is surrounded with all kinds of learning resources reaches out well beyond the classroom routine. He becomes involved in learning under the most productive system of all, for his learning is self-directed. He also learns how to locate, organize, and use of information that will expand his horizons and raise his self-expectations.
The main purpose of the School Library is to provide service to the faculty, students, and administrators in accessing information, developing the research strategies and utilizing media while the Electronic Library (E-Library) is to provide them access to the INTERNET, CD-ROM, and E-MAIL facilities and resources as supplement to the information resources and services available in the conventional library.
