As American society has shifted from an economy based on capital goods (industrial) to an economy based on services (information), there has been a corresponding shift in what is expected from American education. Knowing how to ask the right questions may be the single most important step in learning. The process that is conducted in order to find answers to the right questions leads to the point at which information becomes knowledge. Information Literacy -- the ability to access, evaluate, and use information from a variety of sources -- is central to all successful learning and by extension to all successful living.
('Information Literacy in an Information Society', ERIC Digest, May, 1994).

The mission of the library media center is to develop students who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate the sea of information.

Thus, we will provide conditions that foster:

• an efficient library media center, flexible and responsive to students'  needs
• an atmosphere of inquiry, encouraging information access
• a program consisting of the skills needed to efficiently and effectively access, extract, synthesize and present information.
• a high expectation of student success in using information
• a diversity of information technologies so as to allow for differing learning styles and abilities
