Schedule for Lunch Hour Labs

Time            TBA

Topics         TBA

Instructors    Labs will be conducted by the librarians of the Schauerman Library.

Audience     All interested persons

Place           West Wing Library Basement Room 10

Objectives   To give interested persons a chance to meet the librarians and obtain a thorough knowledge of the ECC library organization and databases in an informal, "hands on" setting. To give persons missing an orientation class an opportunity to "make- up" the information & skills.

NOTE         Some instructors are giving extra credit to students who attend a certain number of sessions. If you, as an instructor, are interested in giving extra credit to your class, please phone Claudia Striepe (x6006) to arrange the details - or work out your own method - like having us sign a form of your making - and just tell the students to show up! Faculty are welcome at these sessions too - Flex credit will be given!

Guidelines for Effective Library Assignments

• Faculty, please take a look at these tips from the Southern California Instruction Librarians when planning library research assignments so as to ensure a positive experience for all concerned!   http://clics.ucsd.edu/scil/EffectiveAssignments.html
• Also, please consider leaving a copy of your assignment at the Reference desk for our Assignments Binder. It is amazing how many students do not have their assignment with them when they come to the library for assistance. A copy of the assignment helps us help them.
