Library Policies & Guidelines
Library Instruction
The library staff is committed to helping users gain knowledge about
library services and library research systems while developing information
literacy and critical thinking skills. We accomplish this by providing
individual assistance, group orientations, and a self-paced course,
LIB127 Introduction to the Library.
- Group orientations are conducted each term at the request of individual
faculty and may be customized to emphasize library resources for
a specific subject area. Please schedule orientations at least one
week in advance by contacting a librarian:
Smita Avasthi, savasthi@socc.edu, x7448 (Hours: M-Th, 11-7, F 8-4)
Pauline Smith, psmith@socc.edu, x7261 (Hours: M-F, 8-4)
- LIB 127 Introduction to the Library is a 1 credit (transferable)
course. This class, beneficial for academic research and personal enrichment,
covers a wide range of library resources including its catalogs, periodical
indexes, and electronic resources. There are no prerequisites. For more information about the course, see LIB127
Introduction to the Library or call (541) 888-7261.
- Library assignments are created by faculty to develop the ability
of students to use information resources and technologies independently
and effectively. Faculty is encouraged to collaborate with a librarian
to modify, update, or design library assisgnments to insure an effective
learning experience. To enable the library staff to better assist students
in completing the library assignments, please e-mail a copy of each
assignment to Pauline Smith or to Smita Avasthi.
