or you can use the "Media Center Catalog" link under "Quick Links" on the high school's home page.
SEARCHING: You can do a quick search using the search box at the top of the screen. If you want to have the ability to narrow your search to more specific parameters, use the Search Options button, so you can search by Author, Title, keyword, etc. Once you get results, you can narrow your results by using a filter.
Once you execute your search, you will be given a list of results. Clicking on a book will display more details and a description. If you wish to locate a book, be sure to record the call number. The beginning of the call number tells you where to look for a book:
F = fiction
PB = paperback
a number = nonfiction GN = graphic novel or book
SP = novels in Spanish FR = novels in French LOCATING BOOKS IN THE MEDIA CENTER Books can be located in the media center with the use of their Call Number. Most books can be found alphabetically in the area designated. The one exception to this is in Nonfiction, where books are first organized numerically, and then when numbers are the same, alphabetically. Below are pictures showing were you will find each kind of book. Remember, even if there is no one at the front desk, you can still check out books by using the self checkout sheets on the clipboard on the counter.
