LIBRARY ORIENTATIONS FOR YOUR CLASSES 626 914-8644
You may use the link, “Request an Orientation” from the library home page. OR call 626-914-8644, the Reference Desk. Any Reference staff member can take your request. We will confirm the booking by phone or e-mail. OR come in to the Reference Desk and speak with the reference librarian or reference library technician to book the date. Would you like a mini-orientation before the class gets one? Let’s make an appointment. It might take 10-15 minutes. Not every class has library assignments. When they do, please let us present the search strategies to the class. We can take as little as 15 minutes; more typical is a 50 minute hands-on activity. |
