RAP Sessions for Spring

Mabee Library is offering two introductory library skills instruction workshops called RAP sessions. Students may drop-in to a session that fits into their schedule. These are open workshops; no registration is required.

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 students new to the University and for students just beginning to use the University Libraries. It will be offered eight times from February 2-6 in the Mabee Library electronic classroom:

Monday, February 2 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Tuesday, February 3 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Wednesday, February 4 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Thursday, February 5 8:30-9:30 pm
Friday, February 6 4-5 pm

RAP session #2 will be a basic introduction to the research process – how to find books and scholarly articles. Upon completion of this workshop, students will be able to (1) identify appropriate article databases and use them to find articles; (2) use Encore, the online catalog, to find specific books and journals; (3) identify locations in the Libraries for the books and journals they need; and (4) identify whether an article is considered scholarly or not. RAP session #2 will be offered nine times from February 9-13 in the Mabee Library electronic classroom:

Monday, February 9 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Tuesday, February 10 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Wednesday, February 11 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Thursday, February 12 4-5 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm
Friday, February 13 4-5 pm

These RAP sessions are designed to provide students with foundational library skills only. Librarians will continue to be available to provide higher level customized library instruction tailored to specific assignments and disciplines.
