LIBRARY INSTRUCTION
- Beginning the second week of each academic quarter, library instruction sessions are taught by library faculty at the request of faculty members who would like their students to gain knowledge about library services, library research systems and information literacy skills. These sessions range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the depth of information the faculty member requests. Your attendance and participation as the requesting faculty member is integral to the success of your students’ learning experience within the context of your course. Therefore, your attendance at, and participation in, the library instruction session is necessary.We
do not offer library instruction during the final two weeks of any quarter.
To
schedule a library instruction session, please contact Johnetta Moore by phone at
(425) 640-1639 or via email at johnettamoore@edcc.edu. Please schedule your sessions
at least one week in advance.
