Orientation for international students set for August 17-19

Posted August 4, 2011 4:26 PM in Archive
VCU Libraries offers a special welcome to new international students with orientation sessions August 17-19.

In one quick hour, students can learn their way around the VCU Cabell Library building, learn what services are offered by VCU Libraries, and receive an introduction to how large American university libraries work.

In these orientations, we will address:
 
  • What level of help can you expect from libraries' staff?
  • Where do you ask and how can you best word your question to elicit the best help? 
  • What can you do yourself? 
  • How much can you do online from your home or dorm room? 
  • What library jargon terms should I learn?
These and other questions will be covered. The VCU Libraries website resources will also be introduced.

Dates and Times

  • Wednesday, August 17: 10-11 a.m., noon-1 p.m., 3-4 p.m. 
  • Thursday, August 18: 3-4 p.m.
  • Friday, August 19: 3-4 p.m.
Each orientation session will begin at the first floor entrance to Cabell Library at the bottom of the staircase. See the Cabell Library map for directions and parking
