If you only have a brief time to mention Library Services to your students, please mention these three things:
1. Tell them to look at the New Users Guide, a fairly exhaustive listing of library services with explanatory links. |
|
2. Have them use the Library FAQ: Most common questions are already answered here. The FAQ is accessible from the Library Home page and from a lot of other places in our website. If they can't find an answer, email libraryhelp@cpp.edu. |
|
3. When in the library, they can get help: a good starting place is the second floor Circulation Desk (part of Access Services); the employees there can refer them to other places in the building to get help. |
