The media center at Nautilus contains a comprehensive print and non print collection. Students also have access to our online resources through MDCPS’s website. Connections to e-library, SIRS, Facts on File and various other databases link students to thousands of online scholarly journals and newspapers. Students can follow world events from an international perspective with the Columbia International Affairs Online Journal and the Associated Press Photo and News Archives. Our media center provides students with the use of computers throughout the day. Nautilus’s media center is an integral part of our school.
