About Orientations

JIBC Reference Librarians conduct orientations to assist students and faculty learn to use the library and services effectively. Orientations may be provided to a group or on a one-to-one basis. The type of information covered at each orientation is customized to meet the users needs.

Some examples:

General overview of Library material
Research skills
APA Citation style
Database searching, such as Quicklaw, Stat!Ref, etc.

Departmental and Divisional Staff will benefit from attending a session, as the knowledge gained about our diverse resources will allow them to provide better assistance in course development and delivery.
