COMMUNITY NEEDS ENGLISH AS SECOND LANGUAGE THE INFLUX OF HISPANIC POPULATION HAS INTRODUCED THE NEED FOR ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. THE LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS TRYING TO CATCH UP TO THIS NEW POPULATION NEED. TUTORING SOME HISPANIC CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED ENGLISH AT SCHOOL, BUT CANNOT GET HOMEWORK HELP AT HOME DUE TO THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN ARE ALSO IN NEED OF HOME WORK HELP FOR VARIOUS REASONS. MEETING SPACE THE PUBLIC LIBRARY BRANCH IS SMALL AND LIMITED ON HOURS. THE AREA CHURCHES ARE TYPICALLY ONLY OPEN A FEW DAYS A WEEK.

COLLECTION ANALYSIS THE CURRENT PURCHASING ARRANGEMENT HAS HINDERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LIBRARY COLLECTION. THE AGE OF THE COLLECTION REFLECTS THE DELAY IN PURCHASING. THE LIBRARY HEAVILY RELIES ON CONSORTIUMS AND ILL. DR. LOERTSCHER “RECOMMEND THAT NO PURCHASES BE MADE UNTIL THE SCHOOL GETS ITS ACT TOGETHER; INSTEAD, SPEND THE TIME ASSEMBLING FREE RESOURCES ON A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS RELATED TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS GOING ON IN THE COLLEGE. YOU COULD USE GOOGLE SITES TO DEVELOP COLLABORATIVE BIBLIOGRAPHIES FOR RESEARCH TOPICS WHERE THE LIBRARIAN, INSTRUCTORS, AND STUDENTS THEMSELVES WOULD BUILD USEFUL BIBLIOGRAPHIES.”

FUTURE OF THE RESOURCE CENTER NEW ACQUISITION POLICY A COLLECTION OF ONLINE RESOURCES THAT INCLUDES ONLINE JOURNALS EBOOKS LIBGUIDES BOOK REQUEST FILLED THE SAME YEAR PRESENTED COLLECTION AGE TO BE REDUCED TO UNDER 20 YEARS.
