Your first stop in the Library should be the Reference Section. That's the section that has encyclopaedias and dictionaries of all kinds, almanacs, atlases, and reference books you've never even heard of.
Most reference books are non-circulating, which means you cannot check them out. They are always there in the Reference Section when you need them. So you will have to use these books in the library.
As you move up through the grades, it is important that you learn to use these valuable resources.
For this year ISA Library Activities, we are emphasizing on acquainting our Primary Students with ENCYCLOPAEDIA. The theme for the project is Encyclopaedia: Knowledge and Usage.

An encyclopaedia is a collection of articles on many topics.
GENERAL
INFORMATION ABOUT ENCYCLOPAEDIA
Encyclopaedia is one or more books containing
information about people, places, events and things, presented
accurately and objectively, in an “easy to use” manner, without
any prejudice. It may deal with all areas of knowledge (called
General Encyclopaedia) or it may confine itself to just one
area (called Subject Encyclopaedia). It is a combined
effort of a team to write an encyclopaedia .
HISTORY
The word encyclopaedia comes
from the Greek words enkyklios paideia, meaning
general or
well-rounded education. In ancient times, scholars
found that the information they needed was scattered in manuscripts
in various parts of the world. Scholars made their own reference
works either by copying from the works of the other authors or from
other sources. These ancient reference works were the ancestors of
the encyclopaedia. But these were neither organized nor accurate in
information. Many scholars call the ancient Greek philosopher
Aristotle “the father of encyclopaedists”. In 300's B.C.
he made one of the first attempts to bring all existing knowledge
together in a series of books.
FEATURES
Encyclopaedia bridges the gap between what there is
“to know” and the reader who “wants to know”. Content and
presentation depend on the readers who are going to consult the
encyclopaedia. Most encyclopaedias use one of two basic methods of
subject arrangement - alphabetical arrangement and
the topical arrangement. Indexing
is one of the main features of Encyclopaedia which provides access
to detailed information and draws together subjects that have
significant relationships. For an encylopaedia constant revision is
necessary to make it up to date.
Please
visit your Library, explore the world of encyclopaedia and enjoy fun-filled activities.
