New Procedure for requesting library instruction
Good Morning.
Beginning Monday, February 2, 2009, the library will be following a new procedure for requesting library instruction. Our hope is that faculty will be able to request library instruction without having to track down a busy librarian!
To schedule a session, faculty will need to go to: http://www.gtcc.edu/lib/LI/MainCustomerMenu.htm. They can also go to our homepage: http://www.gtcc.edu/lib and click on the Faculty tab at the top of the page. Then click the link "Request Instruction for your class".
Faculty may still come in and request a session, but they will still be asked to complete the online form. Classes will not be guarenteed unless an online form has been completed.
Also please note the following guidelines below. Some are reminders of guidelines from the past and some are new.
1. Please give 5 days notice of request and complete the form below within 5 days of scheduled instruction. Requests may be denied if less than 5 days.
2. Instructors must remain with the class at all times.
3. Instruction will take place in LRC 202. If the room is unavailable, librarians can come to the classroom and teach the class if the Internet and data projector is available.
4. You will receive a confirmation email by the librarian scheduled to teach the class. The instruction session is not confirmed until you receive the confirmation email from a librarian. You must select topics from the list below to receive a confirmation email from a librarian. You must also provide a description or provide the assignment in order to receive a confirmation email from a librarian.
5. A copy of the assignment or explanation of the assignment is required to facilitate library instruction.
6. Time of instruction is estimated. The length will depend on how students interact with the librarian.
Those who have already signed up for a session still need to complete the online form.
If there are any questions please don't hesitate to contact the library.
