Where do I find bibliographies about famous people?
While bibliography and biography sound alike, a bibliography is a list of all the resources you use when writing a research paper. On the other hand, a biography is a story about a famous person living or deceased. Our OPAC or electronic card catalog is a good place to begin searching for a biography.Back to Top
What's the difference between an anachronism and a acronym?
An anachronism can be an old object or one that is out of place or out of sync with its surroundings such as discovering a soda can inside a pyramid; the time frames of their creation don't match; therefore, they shouldn't be unearthed together. An acronym is sort of like a code or an abbreviation for a group of words. Example: MEP stands for Monticello Enrichment Program; in this instance the first letter of each word creates the acronym.Back to Top
If I want a book that we don't have, can you order it?
Yes, we can borrow books through an InterLibrary Loan process called ILL. Search the county school library catalog from school or remotely from home at: http://www.youseemore.com/sullivan From the drop down menu, select All Schools; type in the name of the title you are requesting, and bring that title to your librarian with the name of the school that owns the book. A hold will be placed through your account and the book should arrive within a few days.Back to Top
Why can't I share my computer password with my friend?
In order to keep the district computer network secure, we assign individual accounts to students. Having a personal account is a privilege, and this privilege allows you to search for assignment information and also provides you with a folder to store that information in. Students are required to be responsible users, which means passwords may not be shared with friends. Sharing passwords may compromise network security by possibly allowing virus' to enter the system through downloads or through uploads from flash drives, disks, etc.; sharing passwords makes system accountability impossible. Therefore, anything found in your account folder/s you are responsible for. Sites you visit must be school related, otherwise you risk violation of the District Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). If you choose to share your password, you may lose the privilege of having a school computer account. If your account is closed, depending on the violation, the District will decide whether to trust you again with the privilege of re-opening the account. PRIOR to uploading data from disks or flashdrives, you are required to run a Symantec Security Check; if you're not sure how to perform this operation, ask the librarian for help. Remember, to keep your account secure, DO NOT share passwords, and run Symantec Security checks before uploading data.Back to Top
