Library

The Dunlap High School Library/Technology Center provides over 8,600 books and 19 magazine titles for school assignments and reports.  Also available for student use is a 42 station computer Internet Research Lab.  Entire classes or individuals may make use of the lab.

A special Internet connection, via the Alliance Library System, in conjunction with the First Search database in Dublin, Ohio is available and funded through a State Library Grant.  The URL address is http://newfirstsearch.oclc.org.  The authorization number is 100-107-806 and password is "guxp,guxp". Students can gain access to this database, via their home computer, if they have an internet connection.

RSA CAT is now the new online library card catalog website.  It will allow full access to the entire catalog at Dunlap High and all the others in the Resource Sharing Alliance from any computer connected to the Internet.  In addition to looking and working better than the previous Bibliofile database, the new RSA CAT will often include extras such as book covers, reviews, tables of contents, summaries, and first chapter previews.  The URL address is http://rsacat.alsrsa.org and can be used from a home computer.

Students that would like to use any of the 2 databases, should see Mr. Sullivan in the Library for training.

Need research data from newspapers in the United States and around the world? If so, click on the following hot link http://www.refdesk.com/paper.html. The link goes to a page that lists each state in the United States and many regions around the world. Inside the state or region page, there are lists to a huge number of newspapers that post online. If you go to the world section, you can use the Google translate option to convert the newspaper articles from their native language to English. This is a great research tool!

Students are encouraged to browse through books and magazines as well as study in the Library before or after school.  Questions concerning the Library should be directed to Mr. Sullivan.
