The library
provides an environment which promotes academic excellence within
an atmosphere of warmth and support. Resources are broad enough to
provide research material for the courses offered as well as material
for recreational reading and intellectual stimulation. The library also
contains a vhs/dvd collection, a professional library for teachers,
current issues of magazines and an extensive area for college catalogues/dvds.
In addition to the school computer lab and the Flame Program’s
computers, the library provides students access to twenty-four computers, a printer, scanner
and copier. All students are provided with library cards from the
San Francisco Public Library, allowing them to access a wide variety
of searchable data bases without having to leave the campus. It is
part of ICA’s goal to enable students to feel comfortable in
the world of information science and to utilize research skills which
will help them to adjust to college-level work and, beyond that, to
the 21st century workplace. |
