Library Orientations   

Faculty Orientation Request    Drop-in Orientation Schedule

The librarians offer various types of library orientations that target the diverse needs and busy schedules of SCC faculty and students:

   1. Customized orientations that are tailored to your pre-determined assignment or course objective. You choose the topic and the date of the orientation. Instructors attend these hands-on sessions with their classes during the regular class meeting time. The orientations cover either searching for books, e-books and journal/newspaper articles using the online Research Databases or best practices searching the Internet. They are normally held in the LR220 classroom.

   2. The Drop-in Workshop Series is offered throughout the semester, including evenings, Saturdays, and an online tutorial.  Students attend these on their own time. There are two face-to-face versions and one online tutorial. Students must sign up in advance for the 50-minute face-to-face sessions. The tutorial can be done at any time.

Students will receive a "Proof of Attendance" slip after successfully completing a face-to-face class and a “Proof of Completion” for the tutorial. The face-to-face sessions are typically held in the LR220 classroom. Students are encouraged to take all the sessions during the course of the semester. Sign-up sheets for the face-to-face classes are located at the Reference Desk on the second floor of the library.
