WORKSHOPS AT THE LIBRARY
Each quarter, we offer several free workshops for students, campus and community members. The workshops are designed to help you learn to use library resources more effectively, easily and efficiently. You'll get an overview on a specific resource and then have a chance to practice with a librarian's help. All workshops are fifty minutes and require no advance sign-up. Workshops are held in LIB105.
