Sims Memorial Library invites university faculty and staff to attend "The Extreme Researcher Makeover: Sims Library Edition" on Sept. 10 or 11.
At the orientation, faculty/staff will learn about "research tools" such as remote access to library resources, subject-specific electronic databases, instruction and distance learning services, reserves and electronic reserves, interlibrary loan, phone, e-mail, chat, text-messaging, and appointment-based reference services.
Four identical sessions will be offered and light refreshments will be served at each. The sessions will be held in room 252 Wednesday, Sept. 10, 10-11:30 a.m. and 2-3:30 p.m.; and Thursday, Sept. 11, 9:30-11 a.m. and 2-3:30 p.m.
Pre-registration by Sept. 5 is requested but not required. To register, e-mail your name, department, and the session you plan to attend to jdurel@selu.edu or call Julie at 549-3962.
Those who are unable to attend are encouraged to contact their library faculty liaison -- www.selu.edu/library/directory/liaisons/index.html -- or the Reference Desk at 549-2027 to make arrangements for an individual or departmental orientation session.
This program is offered by Sims Memorial Library as part of the New Faculty Workshop Series, co-sponsored through the Center for Faculty Excellence.
