It has been said that ASD has the best used book sale in Qatar. The sale is eagerly anticipated each year and throngs of eager readers rush in to browse among the dozens of tables of gently used books. With our transient population there are many donations and many others looking to stock up on their reading materials, and they are never disappointed. This year we brought in over 18,000QR to be donated to support the ACET schools in Africa. |
With the ever-growing amount of information available, teaching students to be ethical users and creators of information is one of the library's most important jobs. From the moment they begin to do research, ASD students are encouraged to give credit to their sources, and as they develop as researchers, the expectations increase. Beginning in grade 6, all ASD students use Noodetools to create bibliographies for their work. Turnitin is used to help students compare their work with their sources, to encourage paraphrasing and citation rather than simply using others' words or ideas.
Consultant John Royce will work with high school students and teachers on the topic of academic integrity in October. We look forward to his visit!
