Scheduling a Library Orientation Session: Library

Arapahoe Community College Library is pleased to offer library orientation classes for groups of students, as well as single individuals. Starting with a general library research class utilizing the library's OPAC (online public access catalog), additional instruction in the use of periodical index resources, and Internet research, as well as more subject specific areas is also available.

Following a brief tour of the library, instruction sessions are held in the library computer center where students are encouraged to participate in the research process. These instruction sessions run approximately 45 minutes in length, but they can also be tailored to fit the specific needs of your classes. Library personel are happy to work with you to develop library exercises tailored to specific subjects and classes. Faculty can use these written exercises to reinforce the library research process in their students.
