The role of the documentation and information centre (CDI)

The CDI is an important tool in the development, learning and training of young people and staff at our school:

• Learners and all members of staff can borrow or consult books, encyclopaedias, dictionaries and other works on site for information and documentation purposes,
• Teachers can work in the designated area with a class or group of students to carry out research as part of a project or when dealing with a subject on the school curriculum,
• the computer consultation area enables Internet research for a project, a presentation or a lecture,
• the resource centre is essential for preparing personal work,
• The reading corner invites you to keep up with current events by reading daily newspapers, weeklies or specialist magazines, or simply to enjoy reading comic strips, etc.
• The CDI is a place where people meet in silence.

The resources made available

A pleasant room, divided into several areas, welcomes users:

• reception,
• the rows with the books,
• reading corners with magazines and periodicals,
• the computer room with computers,
• the classroom.

The luminous surroundings invite you to browse through the rows of books, leaf through the pamphlets and sit down to read a newspaper. During the lunch break and after classes, students can sit in the library to read, do research and prepare their lessons.

A wide range of books, dictionaries, magazines and encyclopaedias are currently available.

The librarian-documentalist, who is essential to the smooth running of the CDI, welcomes users, advises them, helps them with their research, registers new acquisitions in the “a-z.lu” collective catalogue of the Luxembourg library network, chooses and orders titles to be acquired in collaboration with teachers and learners, borrows books and organises special events.
