Booking Times & Spaces
How to schedule...
To Book teaching time with Sarah, please book planning time first or have a quick chat ahead of time. This will help us decide together how much co-teaching time you will want.
To Book a library space, choose the space from the "rooms" field in a new google calendar event. The room choices are MC Student Tables, MC Borges Lab, and MC Little Theater.

Why use Databases?

- Built-in citation tools
- Examples of what "scholarly" work looks like and sounds like
- Note-taking and read-aloud options

A word to the wise...
Copying: Most of you have the library printer (MCLAB-MPS) on your print drive.
If not, email afairlie@amersol.edu.pe or kjuarez@amersol.edu.pe with the attachment you need.
- The library copier is for a few copies at a time; large orders are for the copy center
- Allow extra time for copies if sending via email (our assistants are very busy :)
- If you need to do a larger job, please BYO-paper
Bringing classes:
- If you bring a class to the library, you need to stay with the class. Also, to ensure the space is ready for you, please book "Student Tables" as a room in google calendar.
- If you ask a sub to bring a class to the library, please assign a task to be completed by the end of the lesson.
All students are OUR students:
- If you see behavior in the library that needs to be corrected, please feel free to speak up. We are not a quiet library, but we are a respectful and orderly library. Please help us keep it that way.

- Search for a book in the catalog: Find it, snap a picture, and share to #RReads
