Interactive Information Literacy at Saint Paul’s College

Abstract

n supporting the mission of Saint Paul’s College in Lawrenceville, Virginia, the James Solomon Russell Memorial Library strives to serve the research and general information needs of the students, faculty, and community; to provide our patrons with the most accurate information in the fastest and most efficient manner; and to aid students in their ability to live, learn, and lead in a technological and global society. The library advocates that all users have the right to a supportive atmosphere conducive to their studies. As part of this mission, the library takes a special interest in the Single Parent Support System (SPSS). The SPSS is designed for single, undergraduate, young parents of promise with one or two children between the ages of two months to nine years. The program has been tailored to their intellectual, social, cultural, and psychological development in anticipation of the years to come — providing a sound opportunity for the students as well as their offspring. An on-campus, residential educational program, the SPSS requires students to attend school on a full-time basis.
