COMPUTERS & THE INTERNET

In the computer area of the library there are 20 networked computers and one standalone PC for non-networked CD-ROMs.

The networked computers have access to all the software and resources on the school network, as well as to the Internet. There is a laser printer for black and white printing. Colour printing and scanning facilities are also available for special projects.

Internet Access

The Internet is becoming increasingly important as an additional source of information. There is a satellite link to the school which gives us fast access. Our link must be used in a sensible and useful way. We therefore ask that the rules for its use are followed. These are posted on the noticeboards above the networked computers.

E-mail

All pupils are given their own school email account.

Library Web Site

This web site gives links to search engines and also to sites which should be of value to pupils' studies. Return to the library home page to view these links.

CD ROM and DVD facilities

There is a standalone PC for use with the library CD-ROM collection only. A colour printer is attached. Advance booking is advisable. Details of the CD-ROM collection can be found under the section "CD-ROMs".

In the Audio-Visual Room there is a computer with a DVD drive which can be used for small-group work.

Library Catalogue (OPAC)

Details of this computer catalogue can be found under the section "Use of the Library".
