Our Role:
Librarians promote student learning by providing one-to-one
and/or group instruction to support informational, research, and
classroom needs. Librarians also provide training/workshops for
students and faculty in using print and electronic resources, i.e.
Internet, LINCCWeb, and Academic Research Databases. In the role of departmental
liaisons, librarians support departments by working with faculty to
ensure that resources and services are adequate to support teaching
and research needs.

Library
Instruction
Our Reference Librarians can provide instruction for your class
on how to use the Library and basics of library research. Library
Instruction is a program offered by the Library to
promote student awareness and understanding of the services and
resources available. Sessions last approximately 30 minutes and include
lecture and demonstration. Hands-on practice, visual aids, and
one-on-one interaction with the Librarian are some of the options that
can allow you to create a session tailored to your needs.
To schedule a
library instruction session for your class, please stop by the Reference
Desk in the LRC, call x-4154 or use our
online form at least one
week in advance to satisfy campus-wide room request policies.
You can call us to check for availability.
Remember,
library instruction sessions are booked on a first-come, first-served
basis, and only one class may be scheduled at a time, so book early!!
