Bringing Your Class to the Library Without Librarian-Mediated Instruction:

If instructors find it necessary or appropriate to bring students to the MJC Library but do not intend to schedule structured research sessions, this time needs to be scheduled in advance in order to avoid conflicts with other classes, insure availability of computer workstations, and allow the Library to schedule sufficient Reference Desk staff to assist students in the course of their research. Advance notice also helps us better advise Instructors on resource availability, and, if needed, allows us to pull relevant materials for more convenient access.

However, because most students benefit from even a brief introduction to core library resources, we strongly recommend that instructors take advantage of one of our library instructional opportunities.

Faculty may schedule library research time for your classes by contacting the Library Instruction Coordinator by telephone (x6409) or email.
