Joint Library/IT induction sessions

The joint Library/IT induction programme for first-year students has just concluded for this semester. This programme is delivered across all campuses and lasts between three to five weeks. The sessions, in the form of presentations by the Library and IT User Services, are arranged by Course Directors via our Induction Co-ordinator. This liaison with teaching staff is vital in ensuring attendance. Feedback from students indicates that they found them a useful introduction to basic library and IT skills. ‘Quick Guides’ to Library and IT services were provided and a new series of ‘How to…’ guides was introduced.

The participation rate increased on most campuses, particularly Coleraine. The drop at Jordanstown may reflect an
uptake in subject classes during the first week of term. This will be reviewed by the Library ahead of next year’s programme. The figures do not include subject-based classes and workshops, which provide a focused approach based on subject resources relevant to each course or research interest.

Both induction and subject-based sessions may be provided at anytime throughout the year and can be tailored to your requirements. Please contact either the Customer Support Librarians or Subject Librarians for further  information.
