Resources and Information


Mission Statement:

The Belmont High School Library supports the school mission: to develop contributing members of society who are communicators and life-long learners.
 

The library collaborates with the academic departments to assist teachers and students with gaining access to materials, equipment, and content, as well as to aid in the instruction of the Nine Information Literacy Standards, as defined in Information Power: Building Partnerships for Learning. [©1998 ALA and AECT.]

The library collection of print and online resources are chosen according to the Shaker Regional materials selection policy in order to meet curriculum and access standards.


Library Policies:

Students may visit the library with a class or individually if granted a pass by BHS academic faculty.

Students must read and sign the district Internet Acceptable Use Policy before they will be able to use the school's computer and internet resources.

Circulating materials are lent for a period of two weeks. Students may renew a book indefinitely if there are no hold by other patrons.

These sources provide access to published material from journals, magazines, newspapers, encyclopedias, reference books and government collections. Because of dedicated search tools and indexed materials, subscription databases provide a greater chance that you will find accurate and relevant information in your search than if you use a general search engine on the world-wide web.

Students and staff of Belmont High School have access to the databases listed here, many made available through the New Hampshire State Library. From computers on campus, users should be able to access some resources without a username or password. Students and staff can access these databases at home with the correct login information, which can be acquired at the library circulation desk.
