Starting in the spring of 2010, some classes will attend research courses at UCCS as we partner with college librarians to teach 21st century learning skills. Senior and junior classes can sign up with Mrs. Swinney in the Media Center. This will be a great opportunity for students to get a start on university course work and learn what research databases are available for them.
