Library Instruction/Tour

Library Instruction sessions are primarily conducted in Frazar Library. These sessions usually include a tour of the library to familiarize students with the building and its facilities. Sessions generally begin in the lobby of the library and conclude on the second floor in Room A.

We would like advance notice of at least one week in order for librarians to have adequate preparation time. Thank you.
