The media center is open for student use from 7:15 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The second floor of the library is considered the main floor. The library book collection is located on this floor. We subscribe to 50 magazines for students' use. The third floor houses a computer lab for the students. Teachers schedule this floor for research, remediation, acceleration, and the use of Microsoft Office for Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and Word. All subject areas are able to utilize the lab for educational use. Students can use the computer lab with a pass from their teachers. If it is booked, there are computers set up on the second floor for them. In addition to our third floor computer lab, we also have four mobile labs available for teachers to use with their classes. These mobile labs house 30 laptop computers and one printer. They are all connected through wireless connection to our network. This enables the media center to offer research capabilities to several classes at one time. We are very proud of our various technology resources in the media center. The first floor of the library has a tiered classroom for use by our students and teachers for programs, lectures, and testing. This room seats 105 people. The first floor is also used for meetings by everyone in the system. The athletic department conducts their Parent Meetings on this floor. Different departments in the system utilize it, as well. Jacksonville State University uses this classroom in the afternoons and evenings for Video Conferencing classes. The first floor also has the Oxford Room. This is a conference/meeting room with Oxford memorabilia. Alabama Virtual Library cards are available on the third floor. The media specialists are available to issue cards and demonstrate the uses of this web site. We are very proud of the media center and the many different resources it offers.
