Information for Staff
 
The LRC supports the curricular needs of staff from every department in the school. It aims to do this by:

- Providing an efficient team of staff including an experienced information professional to discuss and support information and reading needs.
- Providing resources to support subjects, on an individual basis.
- Providing collections of resources to take away to support classroom projects.
- Booking class groups into the LRC for research and information skills lessons.
- Supporting small groups of students from classes, requiring resources to support classroom work.
· Developing a staff collection of resources containing catalogues of books, CDRoms, videos, on-line resources, website address books, books on professional matters, the TES including back-copies.

You can help the LRC to become more effective by:

- Keeping the LRC Manager informed and up-to-date about the work and current initiatives of your curricular area.
- Providing plenty of advanced notice of any special projects, so that appropriate resources may be gathered beforehand.
- Offering suggestions for new resources in the LRC so that materials remain relevant to the users’ needs.
- Don't forget, you can visit the LRC for a chat about support or a new venture in your subject, at any time. There is a member of staff available throughout the school day, as well as before and after school hours
