New dates for 'Extreme Researcher Makeover'
9/9/08 by: Kathryn Munson
The Sims Library Faculty/Staff Orientation, "Extreme Researcher Makeover: Sims Edition", has been rescheduled.
Due to delays from Hurricane Gustav, the orientation sessions will now take place on Wednesday, September 24 and on Thursday, September 25 from 1:00-3:00 PM.
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. Light refreshments will be served at each session.
Pre-registration by Sept. 22 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.
