RAP Sessions @ Mabee Library

Be sure to attend one of the RAP Sessions at Mabee Library!

Judy Druse, Mabee's Acting Assistant Director for Public Services, is conducting Research Assistance Program (RAP) Sessions at the library during the next two weeks. There are two types of sessions from which to choose based on your knowledge of the library.

RAP session #1 is a very basic workshop designed to highlight services and resources the Libraries offer. It will include a basic orientation to Mabee Library and the Curriculum Resources Center, an overview of the Libraries’ Web sites, and a physical tour of the Mabee Library. This workshop is designed for new students to the University and for students just beginning to use the University Libraries. It will be offered four times from February 5-8 in the Mabee Library electronic classroom:

February 5 4:15 pm – 5:15 pm
February 6 9:30 am – 10:30 am
February 7 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
February 8 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

RAP session #2 will be a basic introduction to the research process – how to find books and articles. Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to (1) identify appropriate article databases and use them to find articles; (2) use ATLAS, the online catalog, to find specific books and periodicals; (3) identify locations in the Libraries for the books and periodicals they need; and (4) identify whether an article is considered scholarly or not. RAP session #2 will be offered four times from February 12-15 in the Mabee Library electronic classroom:

February 12 8:30 pm – 9:30 pm
February 13 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
February 14 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
February 15 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
