Collaborate. Innovate.Bringing 21st century information literacy to Emma since 2013.

“More than a library, a workshop, and an

archive—

it is a community center for the inspiration and

exhibition of intellectual pursuits.”

Information Audit

• How do you teach best?

• How do your students learn best?

• How do you use technology?

• How have you utilized the library in the past?

• *How can we work together in the future to best support our girls?

Library tools--physical

New Macs!

Emma girls say:

• “[They] allow us to use programs that don't run as well on our laptops; better graphics for design work.”

• “The screen is bigger, it is nice to have two monitors showing at once. One monitor with notes and outlines for essays, the other used for actually writing the essay. I love having the macs. “

• “It's easier to focus and stay on track when you're not on your own computer... :)”

• And, as always, there’s printing…printing…printing.
