Our goal is that students will take away from the library orientation a positive impression about the collections, staff, and facility. Students' perception after orientation will be:
- The library provides access to everything I need.
- The staff is approachable and helpful.
- The library is a comfortable and inviting place to study and work.
- I will be taught how to find information in my freshman English classes.
