For Students in their First Year -- Library Instruction

Mark your calendars
September 18, 2007

Freshmen Seminar Library Basics
12 - 1 in Library

with Loree Bourgoin

ALL incoming students with less than 30 transfer credits will be attending the Library 411 Freshman Seminar on the above listed date starting at noon.

Students required to take this seminar have been pre-registered. Any questions on this consult Patti Broedlin at x112 or the librarian at x132.

No advance preparation is required for this seminar. This seminar is assignment based.

Attendees should arrive on time for a 15 minute introduction. After 15 minutes each will be given an assignment sheet. Credit for this seminar is granted only upon completion of the assignment. The assignment covers basic foundation knowledge that LACFA faculty and the library have determined is essential to know about use of our college library.

The assignment is hands-on exploration of the library through search-discovery & use exercises. This hands-on mode of learning seems to be the most effective means of delivering the lesson objectives. The assignment is brief and should take approximately 45 minutes to complete.

The assignment due date is September 25th -- one week after the seminar! Student Services will be informed of each student that earns credit for the seminar upon completion of the assignment.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce the library and its use to you!
