ROSS SCHOOL LIBRARIES

ABOUT THE LIBRARIES

About the Ross School Libraries The Ross School Libraries are comprised of four distinct libraries located on the two school campuses. The Lower School Library on the Butter Lane campus serves Pre-Nursery through Grade 4. The Middle School Library on the Goodfriend Drive campus serves Grades 5 through 8. The High School Library, including a separate Senior Reference Library, serves Grades 9 through 12 and is located on the Goodfriend Drive campus. In addition, there are curriculum-related library books in classrooms throughout the campuses. Mission Statement The vision of the Library and Information Services Domain of the Ross School is to meet the information needs of every member of the Ross Community. This requires offering direct and equal access to all types of information in electronic, online, and print formats, as well as educating students, staff, and faculty in the use of these resources. Our mandate is to provide the requisite knowledge, skills, and tools needed to guarantee an excellent level of information literacy among members of the Ross School and the Ross Institute. The ultimate goal of the Library Domain is to actively participate in, and contribute to, today’s expanding global information society. Three Statements of Purpose: - The Ross Libraries are the academic foundation of the Ross curriculum and history. - The Ross Library collections demonstrate the evolution of the Ross School Spiral Curriculum. - The Ross Libraries integrate and articulate the importance of print materials in concurrence with electronic materials. –Dale Scott
