Reference librarians schedule and conduct orientations to library resources for individual classes, when requested to do so by SMC instructors.
Students with good library research skills do better academically. We provide SMC students with instruction and assistance enabling them to integrate appropriate information resources into their coursework. The Library conducts over 200 library orientation sessions per year. Orientations are taught in the Library’s state-of-the-art computer classroom. Call 434-4254 or drop by the Reference Desk to set up a time for a library orientation for your class.
Requests for orientations must be made by the instructor 48 hours or more in advance, except for evening orientation requests.
Orientations are scheduled for requested times if the time and facilities are available.
Instructors must accompany their classes for the orientations.
Orientations are given by librarians and not by instructors or other persons.
Orientations are generally scheduled for the Library classroom. If the classroom is unavailable, the Library computer lab may be used.
