Library Orientation

General library orientation takes place at the beginning of the year and is targeted at first year students. It is compulsory for students to attend the library orientation session on the day set aside by the Department of Student Services. On-going orientation for new academics can be arranged during the course of the year.

Online Library Training

The library provides training to assist students to find quality information in the library and beyond. Online training sessions are offered throughout the year, but face-to-face can be arranged. We would like to encourage our academics to attend the below training sessions or arrange sessions for their students by contacting your Faculty Librarian.
