ISA Library goes Online

Starting this month, ISA campus comes within the Britannica Learning Zone, where each member of the ISA community enjoys 24/7 access to all the resources Britannica Learning Zone has to offer, not only in school, but virtually bringing the whole library to his or her home. These include the unabridged contents of the Britannica Encyclopedia plus video animation, complete line of dictionary, world atlas, comparable facts and figures of countries around the world, tens of thousands of e-book titles under the Reference Desk; years in review, Britannica timeline, Britannica classics under Time Travel, among many other big titles, such as Explore Britannica, Learning Materials, and a lot more. The Workspace made learners’ research work more user-friendly. Of the various new measures introduced this year, this is the one most beneficial to the academic endeavor of the learners.

The advent of rapid technological advancement calls for a reorientation of the whole spectrum of thinking in the academe. Admittedly, education lags far behind vis a vis applied science in many respect. There is the factor of financial resources, presumably, but conventional mindset is nonetheless to blame. The infusion of hi-tech innovation is utterly an unexplored realm, which can be full of excitement, challenges, and enjoyment. This is a domain no educator, particularly leaders in the academe, cannot afford to overlook. In consonance with the needs of the learners and mentors, it is expected of ISA to introduce further modernism in the years to come.
