What is the Information Literacy Question?
Several times a month, Mrs. Parks submits an Information Literacy Question to the student body. The object of this question is to provide students the opportunity to practice information retrieval skills from a variety of sources and formats (reference books, periodicals, online catalog, databases, etc.). Students are encouraged to search for the answer in the library and submit the answer on a special form. Periodically, Mrs. Parks has a drawing for special books and/or prizes from the correct answers.Back to Top

The OPAC is the Online Public Access Catalog on the computer, also known as the card catalog or the catalog. All information about the books and resources we have in our library can be found on the OPAC. (Check out the LINKS page to get to the OPAC!) All of the computers in the library access this catalog. Look for the Meigs Online Library Catalog icon on each computer desktop.
