FOR VISITORS AND THE COMMUNITY

Library and Collection Tours
Visitors and community groups or organizations can request a tour of any of the Academic Affairs Libraries or special collections. These tours are designed to introduce you to the many services and resources available to you through the libraries. A tour typically highlights:

• The organization of the library or the collection
• Service points such as reference and circulation
• General library or collection use policies
• The library catalog or other appropriate finding aids
• Other appropriate print or online resources

A library instructor will consult with you on the content and objectives for the tour. To schedule a tour, please see our tour page, or contact Instructional Services

Customized Workshops
A library instructor can collaborate with you to create a workshop around a specific information need. A workshop can focus on a particular resource, such as those available through NCLive, a specific type of information, such as U.S. Census data or a topic like business research. Workshops can be conducted for a group ranging from 3 to 20. The session can include handouts, web pages, demonstrations, exercises, or guided hands-on practice, depending on your needs or preferences. To schedule a workshop, please contact Instructional Services.

Web-based Tutorials and Research Guides
The library provides access to a wide range of web-based tutorials and research guides designed to help you navigate the library and identify information resources relevant to your research.
