 In
the new academic year 2005-06, XIC opened its doors for classes at
the XIC Campus, St. Xavier’s High School, Dhobi Talao. The new site
has two large halls to accommodate 50 students each, very conducive
study environment and state-of-the-art Sound Recording Studios with
complete recording facilities.
The audio-visual section of the Cardinal
Gracias Media Resource Centre (CGMRC-XIC) is also accommodated in
this building. Beautifully carved wooden bookshelves lend personal
character to the space, which houses the electronic media and news
clippings section.
Students
are provided the facility of an e-media and clipping library at the
new site.
The collection comprises :Audio-Visuals;
Newspaper clippings; and back-issues of prominent newspapers and
magazines. The library also maintains a fair collection of both
educational (documentaries, training videos, students’ projects) as
well as entertaining (feature films) audio-visuals (Cds, DVDs, VHS)
on Advertising, Communication, Language, Health, History,
Management, Science, Environment, Photography and Multimedia.
Students can refer to the archival section as well as borrow
research-supporting documents.
Due
to lack of space at the CGMRC - XIC, it was decided to shift the
audio-visual section to the new extended wing of the XIC premises.
Another reason being to segregate print and non-print which would
allow for a larger collection.
The audio-visual viewing facilities at
the XIC Campus St. Xavier’s High School, has made it convenient to
access audiovisuals within the library itself. The facility
available to students in-house is at normal charges: To view a VHS/
VCD
To view a VHS/ VCD Rs. 10/- and DVD Rs.30/- .
The borrowing facility is also provided: VHS Rs. 15/- per day,
per VHS, and VCD Rs. 25/- per day, per VCD, and DVD Rs. 50/- per day
per DVD, Certain DVD’s cannot be borrowed
