NEW STUDENT PROGRAM TOURS

Please be aware that we will be conducting several tours for the next several weeks. To see the schedule you can go to http://my.calendars.net/LearningCommons. If it doesn't come up right away, just reload it. These tours will be 15 minutes in length and are designed to give new students who will be coming in the fall a general introduction to the Learning Commons and its function and policies. In a pinch (if we run out of tour guides, you may be asked to conduct a tour). Ask your supervisor for a copy of the Short Tour Outline. You can access a copy of the short tour at: http://people.umass.edu/cwill/ShortTour.doc

Alumni visitors will be coming to the library on these dates and supervisors will be giving these random groups short tours of the Learning Commons...so look sharp and make a good impression. These are the people who may contribute to the LC if we make an impression!

Thanks.
