Library Orientation Request Form

Research orientations with a librarian are most useful for students when students have: a) a thorough grasp of the assignment, and b) a research topic picked out. Please take this into consideration when scheduling orientations.

We request at least one week's advance notice and instructor must be present at orientation. We will typically respond to requests within 24 hours of request Monday - Friday during fall, spring, and summer semesters. Contact Steven Deineh (sdeineh@miracosta.edu) with questions about orientations.

1. Upload research assignment; if not ready, send to librarian teaching your class no later than 1 week before session.

2. Describe your goals for the research orientation, class guide, and/or brief YouTube video. What do you want your students to be able to do as a result of it?

3. Which skills would you like the lesson to focus on? Please be mindful of estimated teaching times and specific types of sources required in your assignment.
