LEARNING LABORATORY ne it . Gere ere) | Beginning asa dream in the imaginations of a few Fayetteville Technical Institute officials, a Learning Laboratory has flourished in nearly every Community College throughout the State. Many other states and foreign countries have shown interest in this unique use of programmed instruction. In early 1964, research and organization began, and by March, 1964, the first students were studying in the Learning Laboratory. Since that time, facilities have been inadequate to meet the demand of the public. The purpose of the Learning Laboratory is to make available to the community and regular curriculum students an opportunity to learn new subjects, strengthen weak areas of learning, or study for a high school equivalency diploma. It serves as a remedial clinic for aspiring stu- dents, and a programmed classroom for adults who desire new or specialized training. The Learning Lab is a library of programmed instruction on every subject; reading, math, English, science, and social studies are all available for the serious student. Students come and study at their own convenience; their rate of progress is determined by their own individual motivation and time they can devote to their studies. The only entrance requirements are sincere interest and a desire to reach some academic goal. = - myer 2] 1-8 ling | | Paw. ae or =

LIBRARY or “uG 4 ih At the circulation desk (right), Miss William- son works with Brenda Oldham, a library as- sistant who is examining the book checkout cards of students who are taking books out of the library. There are eight library assistants who aid Miss Williamson in the routine duties and services provided by our library. These library assistants not only provide necessary aid without which the work could not be accomplished, but they also receive valuable training in important skills which they will use in their future careers, i. abeanbe CAMUBGMD) cooneqnne snmeaants il All a —— t says ates? Research, reference, and study materials in a Library are of little use if a student can not quickly and efficiently find the material he seeks, and he soon learns that a Library is no better than the index and locator systems which are so carefully main- tained by the librarians for his benefit. At the beginning of each school year, our Librarian conducts an orientation class in the use of the library for all students, emphasizing the use of the various locator systems, the usual library facilities available, and the fact that advice and assistance are always available for the asking.
