About the Mr. Schweighoffer Digital Library...."
Mission Statement
The mission of the Mr. Schweighoffer Digital Library is to offer students and their parents the resources they need to be successful in middle school and to prepare them for the "real world" ahead. The library is built to enhance scholarship, research and lifelong learning.
Collection Policy
Criteria for additional collections to the library will be based on if the new material upholds the goals of the mission statement. Formats and scope of additional material will be considered if they prevent ease of use by patrons, for example, if items take legnthy loading times. Also, future collections must be of current material and consistently updated material.
Organization
Materials will be organized into eight subcategories stemming from assisting student academic instruction and advancing, to general world and future life areas.
Interface and Design Use
Users of the library should utilize the "main menu" table feature at the top of the first page and return to the main menu with the purple "main menu" icon located throughout the library. Patrons may also use the "back" button on their Internet browser. Links are recorded in yellow throughout the library. The library has been created using basic html format. The library can be best accessed utilizing Internet Explorer 6, with real player audio. The library is utilizing a free web provider which displays advertisments. The creator of the library does not endorse any advertised product and asks the users to close the advertisements by clicking on the top left "X" or up arrow of each advertisement.
Enhancement
The digital library will be in a constant state of improvement. Improvements will be based on user input. Users may record their feedback about the library by either using the email link on the main page of the library (Mr. Schweighoffer's email), signing in comments to the guestbook at the bottom of the last library page or by mailing comments to: J.Schweighoffer, 141 Hope Hill Road, Wallingford, Connecticut, 06492. The creator hopes to tailor the library collection to the needs and desires of the users and therefore needs user input!
Maintenance
The library is under a constant state of repair and improvement. At least twice per week the library is checked for errors, however, since the library is in a constant state of improvement errors may appear.
