1. The Oak Hall
Middle and Upper School
Media Center:
A Photo Tour

2. Here’s one of the places you’ll find the
newest books!

3. Special Displays!
This one pairs science fiction and science fact books.

4. From all of the library computers, you can explore the Oak Hall Library
Catalogue, the Alachua County Library Catalogue, Edline, and our EBSCO
databases. You can also access all these items from your home by going through
Edline. One of your “classes” is the library! Links on the library Edline page will
take you to catalogues, databases, a map of the library, a library wiki, and this
tour!

5. On Follett Destiny, you can search for books, check out
Resource Lists, see the Top 10 Books, and New Arrivals!

6. To your left as you enter the library, you will find the
nonfiction collection which is catalogued using the
Dewey decimal system. Along the back wall under
the windows is the high school fiction. Fiction is
alphabetized by the author’s last name.

7. 900 Geography & History
800 Literature
700 Arts & Recreation
600 Medicine & Technology
500 Math & Science
400 Language

8. Just behind me you will find the
Media Center Conference Room.
Classes sometimes meet here.
I’m Alfred, Lord Tennyson, by the
way, a British poet. Check out my
exhibit.

9. Craving a snack? Eat out on the porch. When the weather is
nice, the porch makes a great place to study or just hang out.

10. Feel free to get comfortable over here. Put
your feet up. Or sit on the floor near the
Young Adult books.

11. The Young Adult literature section starts
here. YA fiction is also alphabetized by
the author’s last name. Harry Potter and
the Hunger Games are both shelved in this
section. Books by me, Honoré de
Balzac, are over in the High School Fiction
or 800’s section.

12. The magazines are over here. This is also another
good place for group work.

13. Moving right along, we have on the shelves from left to right, Young Adult
Fiction, Biography and Autobiography (alphabetized by the last name of
the person who is the subject of the book), and Reference, which includes
dictionaries and encyclopedias. You use Reference books in the library
rather than checking them out. Along the back wall are more Reference
books and another New Book display area.

14. These are the student computers . The student printer and
photocopier is here as well. On the student computers you can
check Edline, your email, complete research, finish a
presentation, create a graph for physics, or even use Audacity to
record a podcast. If you need a head set and microphone, you can
check one out at the Circulation Desk. The library staff also has
your computer user name and password.

15. Need a place for group study?
Have a make up test?
Welcome to the Library Processing Room!
(We also process books here.)

16. Come to the Circulation Desk to check out
books or the sports page. Return your books
here, get writing help, ask questions, or just
visit.

17. Supplies:
paperclips, earplugs, hand
sanitizer, hole punch!
