Welcome Back Faculty!!
The Chabot College Librarians offer orientation sessions during each semester, including the summer, covering basic library and research skills. We customize each orientation based on the given assignment.
Whether your students are required to write a report, a critical essay, or a research paper, the librarians will show them how and where to begin. We will make sure they don’t get lost in the overwhelming sea of information.
They will learn about:
· Organization of the Chabot College Library
· Finding Books Using the Online Book Catalog
· Finding Articles Using Periodical Indexes
· Internet Resources
· Research Strategies and Techniques
· Selection and Evaluation of Sources
· Citation Formats
You can submit the online Library Instruction Form for Faculty that can be found at http://www.ushosttech.com/chabot/library/request.cfm

New Students, Welcome to the Fall Semester!
The Library welcomes you to the Fall semester. We will be open Mondays through Thursdays 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Fridays, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
We welcome you to a wonderful education at Chabot College. If you ever need help in your research, a librarian is available for you, on the left side of the main desk.
The Library provides many resources, both in print and electronic. Print resources can be checked out with your student ID card and you can find them in the Library Catalog. Electronic resources are available to you from the Library Databases page (as well as other pages). Go to How to Get Into Databases Off Campus to learn how to access them from your home.
The Library is also a study area, so please do not have loud conversations and have your cell phones on vibrating. If you receive a call, politely step outside to have your conversation.
Study rooms are available for groups of two or more. The sign up sheet is available at the reference desk. You can sign up to one week in advance.
Your library card is your student ID card. Have your picture taken in the photo ID center, located just above the cafeteria. You will need your Student ID card to check out books, for other on campus needs, let alone some movie houses out there will actually give you a student discount if you show it to them! So keep your student ID card in your wallet.
Books are purchased at the Chabot bookstore, not the Library. The Library has SOME textbooks available on reserve, but only if your instructor(s) have placed them there. They are most often available for only ONE HOUR checkout and are NOT to leave the Library (the time is there for you to make photocopies). Do NOT assume it will be there, even if the textbook is sold out at the bookstore. If the textbook is NOT in the Library's reserves collection, be sure to notify your instructor.
If you have any questions, please be sure to see a librarian on the left side of the main desk.
