CiTi's Library Website

 The new  and improved library website is up and running. This new version of the website is linked to the CiTi website.  You will find it listed in the links column for each program at CiTi Library.  This will take you to the landing page and on this page there is a link (Visit the CiTi Library's  Google Site!) to the full library website.  You are welcome to bookmark the Google Sites Library page to take you directly to the page in the future.

  The Library website is a place for Teachers and Students to find resources that support their learning.  There is a section for teachers that provides links to the teacher sign in pages for resources that we use here at CiTi.  The student section provides the links to the student sign in pages for the resources that students are most likely to use.  There are also resources to help students (and teachers) with their research needs and access to our ebooks/audio books.  You do not have  to be logged in to your CiTi Google account unless you need to view the restricted pages.  To view these pages just log in with your @citiboces.net account.

  The Library calendar is on the Home page of the Library website.  This calendar will enable you to see my availability for library lessons.  There is also the Library Schedule page that allows you to sign up for a time with the Librarian.  You will then receive a confirmation of that time from me.  This is the same form that teachers and students use to sign up for an ICE (Information, Curation & Exploration) session.  Once the Library space opens there is also a page for Library Sign In  where teachers will be able to see that their students did arrive at the library (They must have a pass).

The Library website is the best way to provide access to the digital library materials.  This website is updated on a regular basis and new items are added as they are added to the library.  Come visit the library website often.

Library Resources at CiTi

Library Resources Overview 

Here at CiTi we have many resources that are offered through the Library Media Center.  As the Library Media Specialist I will add those resources to this blog to give you an overview of what is available.  If you need the login and passwords for any of these items please contact me for that information.  I am available through Email and Google Hangouts.

The Student library has two locations.  One at 4th Street in Fulton, NY and one on the CiTi main campus in Mexico, NY.  These locations offer a selection of books for students to borrow for general reading but also for research for class assignments.  Teachers can also borrow any of these books.  Each location has a self-check-out station.  Just scan your barcode and then each book you are borrowing.

There is also a Curriculum Library for teacher access.  The Curriculum Library is located at 4th Street Fulton, NY.  There is one computer there with more coming soon.  Teachers will be able to stay and plan with the materials and borrow materials to take back to their classrooms.  The Curriculum Library is divided into two sections.  The Fiction/Dewey/Professional side (Thing 1) and the Textbook/Kit side (Thing 2).  To check items out from the Curriculum Library you will need to sign into a computer and log into the Library  (Opals) Catalog.  http://vbe.osw.opalsinfo.net/  Thing 1 side you will go to the Circulation Loan Tab and for the Thing 2 side you will go to the Textbook Tab.
