Wetumpka High School Library Media Center

  
  
MissionOur misson is to ensure that students & staff are effective users of information.  If students & faculty are to be effective users of information, they must be able to access, analyze, assimilate, and present it. Equipping them with the skills & information they need and want is the primary purpose of a school library media program. Implicit in this mission is the charge to ensure students develop and use these skills.
  
PurposeTo fulfill its purpose, the library media center must function as an integral component within the school program. It must... 
     (1) provide equal access to information in the school collection, 
     (2) furnish supplementary materials to enhance the school curriculum,
     (3) integrate informational skills instruction with classroom activities, 
     (4) assist teachers in using a variety of media formats to improve      
                   instruction, 
     (5) motivate students to enjoy good literature and other worthwhile  
                   resources, and 
     (6) encourage the use of technologies to improve instructional effectiveness.

Do I still need an Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) card, so that I can access the database at home?
No, you no longer need a username and password to access AVL as long as you are within the
state of Alabama.  However there have been a few instances where someone has experienced a problem accessing AVL when using a wireless AIR Card for their home laptop or PC.   If you have a problem at home or will be travelling out of the state of Alabama, just stop by the media center and we will provide you with a username and 
password so you can access the databases.  Please keep in mind you can access AVL on any computer on our campus.
