BIBLIOGRAPHIC INSTRUCTION / ORIENTATIONS /  TOURS OF THE LIBRARY
  FIT faculty may request a bibliographic instruction (BI) session which is taught by Reference faculty. BI sessions are typically an hour in length and held in the Library. The reference faculty assigned to your class will confirm the date and time, and discuss your assignment and any special materials required.

The Library BI sessions
will familiarize students with:
 

The Library and location of resources

Resources in specific subject areas as well as available general resources

Research skills

 
 
 

Please tell us the objectives of your particular class and preferred dates/times.  It is recommended to coordinate orientations with a specific assignment. 

 

We ask that:

 

Orientation requests must be made at least a week in advance.

Classes will not be held without an instructor present.

Library orientations will be cancelled if you and your class have not arrived within 15 minutes of scheduled time.

You encourage all of your students to attend the session.  Although they may have attended other Library sessions, they will learn something new each time.
