IRC Technology: Scanners

The three HP Scanjet 4300 C scanners located on the listening lab (west) side of the second floor are currently out of order. Signs are posted on the scanners and help tickets for each have been submitted (10/8/08).

All other scanners on the second floor, both inside and outside of the Instructional Resource Center, are working.

Additionally, new scanner directions have been created for the HP Scanjet 4600 scanners (clear top, scan face-up). One side is a quick scan for EDCI 131/504 students scanning to file and the other is for using the Imaging Gallery.

Update: 10/17/08
Scanners are all in working order.

Juvenile Collection

The purpose of Archer Library's juvenile collection is to support the College of Education curriculum. Intended for AU students, preservice teachers, student teachers, and faculty members, the juvenile collection is also used by Ashland community borrowers and OhioLINK patrons.

Titles added to the juvenile collection, both fiction and non-fiction, are subject to professional reviews before purchase. Review resources include, but are not limited to, Booklist, Book Links, The Horn Book Magazine, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and The Reading Teacher.

The juvenile collection includes award winning titles such as Newbery and Caldecott winner and honor books, Coretta Scott King award books, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Notable Children's books, and Children's and Teacher's Choice award books.

Students are encouraged to preview, read and evaluate books before using them in a classroom setting. This step is necessary to determine if selected titles are appropriate for individual classroom situations. If you have questions about a particular title, consult with your professor or cooperating teacher before using it in the classroom.
