6th Form Prospectus - Ifield Community College

Library
All sixth form students are able to borrow from the
library which has a large number of resources to
support sixth form courses. These include textbooks
and books for further reading, newspapers and
magazines. Many of the magazines taken, such as
“Chemistry Review”, “Psychology Review” etc. are
designed specifically to support students studying for
A levels. There is also a collection of fiction and a
number of DVDs.
The library’s computerised catalogue is networked
on computers across the school, meaning that
students can check the resources held with ease.
The catalogue also gives some links to appropriate
websites. Students have access to the Internet,
Encarta Reference library, giving online articles, atlas,
dictionary and multimedia features and networked
CD-ROMs on the state of the art library computers.
The library also holds a collection of up-to-date
university and college prospectuses and guides to
universities. Further information on careers is available
in the adjacent careers library. Students also have
access to careers information online. Sixth Form
students are able to study in the library at all times
except when the library has been booked for class
use. There is a qualified librarian based full-time in the
library to assist students with their research.
