LIBRARY ORIENTATIONS: Booking forms for library orientations ae been distributed to discipline
convenors to pass on to instructors. Library orientations for students normally take one hour during which
they complete a Library Lab to give them practical experience in using the library. The Labs are marked
and returned to the instructor. The Library keeps marks for one semester only, if students wish to
demonstrate that a lab has been successfully completed prior to this semester.

Library tours for students are also offered Monday to Friday at 1:00 pm.

Please contact Jacquie Ticknor, Library Orientation Assistant, at local 2108 to book an orientation, or Jean
Cockburn, Orientation Librarian, at local 2119 if you have any questions. New college employees are
welcome to contact Jean Cockburn for a tour of the library.
