Welcome to the Wilson High School Media Center, where you'll find everything you need to fill your research and general information needs, at school or online. The mission of the school library media program is to ensure access to the ideas of the past, the concepts of the present, and the possibilities of the future so that members of the school community will become effective users of ideas and information in the learning process. Our goal is to ensure that students graduate as competent and ethical users of information,with strong intellectual curiosity and a life-long love of reading. Whether you want the latest SAT information, an article for that research paper, or a great read for the weekend, the Wilson Media Center can help! Media Center
New Morning Foundation Grant
The Wilson Media Center received a $500 grant to develop a collection of instructional materials on reproductive health. Media Specialist Sarah Quin submitted the proposal to purchase print and audio-visual materials to the New Morning Foundation of Columbia S.C., an organization that seeks to prevent teen pregnancies. This will help the Media Center become a convenient source of updated, accurate medical information for students and a source for instructional materials for teachers. Literary Reference Center is a full-text database that combines information from major respected reference works, books, literary journals as well as original content from EBSCO Publishing. Literary Reference Center contains full text for more than 31,000 plot summaries, synopses and work overviews, nearly 100,000 articles/essays of literary criticism, more than 159,000 author biographies (including more than 22,000 in-depth bios), 450 literary journals, more than 632,000 book reviews, more than 69,000 classic and contemporary poems, more than 18,000 classic and contemporary short stories, more than 5,600 author interviews, more than 8,200 classic texts and much more . The Wilson Media has added the Ebsco Host Literary Reference Center to its collection of databases, funded by an "Improving Literacy Through School Libraries Grant." |
