The Role of the CDI

The CDI is one of the key resources for the development, learning, and training of our high school’s students and staff:

• Students and all staff members may borrow or consult books, encyclopedias, and dictionaries on site to learn and research,
• Teachers can work in the designated space with a class or a group of students to conduct research as part of a project or when covering a topic in the curriculum,
• The computer lab allows users to conduct Internet searches for a project, a presentation, or a report,
• The reading corner invites you to keep up with current events by reading daily newspapers, weekly magazines, or specialized journals—or simply to have fun reading comic books, …
• The CDI is a place to gather in silence.

The resources made available

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

• the reception area,
• the rows of books,
• reading corners with magazines and periodicals
• the computer lab, which has twelve computers and a color printer,
• the classroom.

The well-lit setting invites students to browse the rows of books, flip through them, and settle in to read a newspaper. During lunch break and after class, students can come to the library to read, do research, and prepare for class.

More than 10,000 items (books, dictionaries, magazines, encyclopedias) are currently available.

The librarian—who is essential to the smooth operation of the school library—welcomes users, advises them, assists them with research, catalogs new acquisitions in the “a-z.lu” union catalog of the Luxembourg library network, selects and orders new titles in collaboration with teachers and students, processes book loans, and organizes special events.

The LJBM’s Documentation and Information Center (CDI) was officially inaugurated by Ms. Anne Brasseur, Minister of National Education, Vocational Training, and Sports, on April 22, 2004, in the presence of several classes, teachers, and school administrators.
