LIBE+463+Assignment+3+-+Notes+and+Raw+Data

__**Staff Survey Questions sent via email**__
1. What units of study are you planning for the next school year?

2. Does the library currently have adequate materials to support your curriculum? FI teachers, please let me know if we are missing things you need - some of these items are almost impossible to get due to either publication problems or language issues between FSL and those whose first language is French. I will do my best to locate and purchase what I can.

3. Will you be bringing students into the library for research? (Especially intermediate teachers, but I have some methods for primary too.)

4. Are you interested in working on collaborative inquiry-based research projects in the library?

5. What do yo see as the best use of the library?


 * These questions were partly to collect data for the Collection Analysis Report and partly to collection information for library programming as I am shifting towards a Learning Commons with a partially fixed schedule (primary classes) and a flexible schedule ( intermediate classes) to create more open time slots for collaborative research projects as well as for my own prep classes.
