How is the library organized? � Graphic novels and paperbacks are on the spinning book shelf. � Magazines and newspapers are kept in the shelves behind the circulation desk. We carry subscriptions to Waterbury Republican/American, Hartford Courant and U. S. A. Today.
Checking Out Books � Please bring your books to the Circulation Desk to be checked out by Mrs. Sampieri or Mrs. Di. Stasio. � Most books can be checked out for two weeks.
Things to remember…. � Never put books back on the shelves. Bring the books to the circulation desk so that Mrs. Sampieri or Mrs. Di. Stasio can check them in. � Always return borrowed books on time so that other students can check them out. Never give a book to a friend to use it – if it is not returned, you will be responsible for the replacement cost.
Using the Computers � You may use the computers as long as you have signed a User Agreement. � Log on to the computer using your school username and password. � Always save your work to your “H” drive so that it will be permanently saved.
Using the Computers � You are responsible for everything that comes across your screen. Do not open anything that might be inappropriate or obscene, including content sent to you in an email! � Computers are primarily for academic use; you may be asked to give up your computer at any time if you are doing something else.
Using the Computers � Students do not have access to the color printer; however, if you do need to print schoolwork in color, you may email it to your teacher, Mrs. Sampieri or Mrs. Di. Stasio and they will print it for you. � Don’t forget to log off before you walk away from a computer!
Accessing Books and Databases on the computer. � You can access the WHS library catalog and all WHS databases through the library media center page of the Wolcott High School Website. � You can also access the WHS library catalog using the “Destiny” icon, which is on all computers in the LMC.
