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.
