Library Orientations

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

Use the attached Orientation Request form today to schedule an orientation for your class. Or, you can submit the online Library Instruction Form for Faculty that can be found at http://www.ushosttech.com/chabot/library/request.cfm. We need a minimum of one week’s notice in order to schedule and prepare for your session. Please include a copy of your assignment.
