3. Consolidate teacher resources to one

location.Many items that are located in the resource areas for the

teachers are outdated, and some are never used. By clearing

out and purging these items and consolidating the remaining

items into one room, the first room will be made accessible for

students to use as a study area, or for a classroom centered

around media center activities. This room could also be used

for conferences and faculty trainings and/or meetings.


20/21

4.Make reference materials accessible to

students.

By opening up the reference center and

making it accessible at all times, students will

feel more comfortable researching in the

media center. They will not have to interruptwhat is going on in the media center to be

able to use the materials located there. A set

of computers, in addition to the already

purchased card catalog computers, should

also be made accessible at all times for

students to conduct research.
