In This Section

Instructional Resource Centre (I.R.C.) is a lending library that provides curriculum appropriate materials to the First Nations schools in Manitoba.

SCOPE OF MATERIALS
To date we have over 14,000 records in our database. The subject scope includes areas such as Numeracy, Literacy, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, First Nation Languages, and Special Education. The I.R.C. has several items in various formats such as Non-fiction and Fiction books, Kits, DVDs, and audio books. We also have Reading Recovery, Reading Intervention, Phonics, and Novel study kits. I.R.C. staff have recently developed social studies and science kits Grades K-8 that align with the Manitoba Education Curriculum.

LIBRARY SOFTWARE
All materials are catalogued according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system. Our circulation, cataloguing and reporting is done using the Mandarin M5 Library program.

LENDING PROCEDURES
To borrow materials, please call or email I.R.C. staff in your area. The materials can be mailed, sent by bus, or with a visiting MFNERC facilitator. MFNERC will cover the cost of shipping the materials to your school; however, it is your responsibility to send back the material. There is a limit of 10 items per patron.
