Library Survivor Workshops (Fall 2008)

You've got a cell phone. You've got a computer. You think you're wired and ready to start the school year. But unless you're connected to McConnell Library, you may not know what you're missing.

To learn how to use the library's resources effectively, plan to attend a Library Survivor class. These drop-in sessions will help you be a better library user. Many professors offer extra credit for attendance, too!

Classes are held in Library Classroom B, and are restricted to 20 students. There is no registration for these workshops. Seating is first come first serve. Doors will open ten minutes before the class starts.
