| Bibliographic Instruction Policy |
| |
| Additional policies and procedures exist that might be applicable. |
| |
| 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. A variety of instructional formats are offered: general orientation and specialized tours, Internet workshops, and a one-hour credit course (ENGL 305) emphasizing advanced research techniques. |
| |
| 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. Individuals requesting use of the SMART Classroom for other purposes must contact the BI Librarian or the Head of Internet Access Services. Permission is granted only under special circumstances. |
