| Bibliographic Instruction Policy |
| |
| Additional policies and procedures exist that might be applicable. |
| |
| Edith Garland Dupré Library offers a variety of instructional
formats: general and specialized library tours and a one-hour
credit course covering advanced library research techniques,
databases, U.S. Government Publications,
Special Collections and the Internet. The Bibliographic Instruction
Department operates within the Internet Access Services Department
and is committed
to the pursuit and promotion of education primarily through
library instruction. Effective bibliographic instruction reflects
the university's primary purposes
of teaching, learning, scholarship, research, and public service. |

| Patrons |
| |
| Our primary patrons are the students, faculty, and staff of the university. Library instruction and tours will also be provided on a limited basis to other areas of the general public, with a preference towards educational groups (area schools, UL Lafayette chapter of Veteran's Upward Bound). Members and affiliates of the university will be given priority in the scheduling and provision of services. |
