Class Tours and Orientations

Several levels of library instruction are available. At the request of a faculty member, the reference librarian will plan and conduct a classroom session based on a course assignment, often preparing customized handouts for each class.  Demonstrations of electronic information sources can be arranged.  Orientations are conducted in a computer classroom. The classroom is equipped with a projector for computer screen. There are about 24 computer workstations in the classroom where students have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with library research.

How to Request Library Orientations

Please try to make your request for a class library instruction session at least 1-2 weeks in advance.  We receive a great number of requests for orientations and time is needed to prepare for these classes.  Each request for a library instruction session will be honored on a first-come, first-serve basis. To maximize the effectiveness of the orientation, we ask you to provide us with a copy of the class assignment.
