Library Resources at Your Fingertips!
All faculty and teaching assistants should take their students for a library orientation workshop as a part of their activities for INGL 3103 and INGL 3104 at least once over the course of the semester. For many of our students, this course is their first introduction to formal research and the use of scholarly academic sources, databases, and peer-reviewed journals. For this reason, it is essential that the opportunity to provide them with expert advice from our very knowledgeable librarians not be missed! Our library offers workshops on a number of topics and can cater to your specific needs and requests. For example, you might ask for a general tour of the facility, or request a workshop on avoiding plagiarism, using MLA style, Interlibrary Loans, etc, etc, etc! The possibilities are endless. All you need to do is fill out a request for a workshop. You may also call Prof. Jaquelina Alvarez at X2022 with any specific questions or concerns. Remember, you need to provide at least three possible dates for workshops on the request form. Also, the more details you can provide the librarians in terms of your specific needs, the better.
