Why Summer Orientation?

In the past, some summer language students have found it hard to get interested in Library orientation. I won't be writing papers till the Fall, you might say -- why learn this now? And my brain is so stressed trying to deal with Greek or Hebrew that I can't concentrate on it anyway!

Well, here's the thing ... summer language students generally return to campus AFTER the fall orientation events are over. So if you don't get it now, you might not get it at all. That would prove to be a big disadvantage to you, because this is your chance to start finding out how the Library functions and what it can do for you.

Remember : your instructors will assume that you are ready to cope with the research demands of their courses when the academic year begins. We are trying to help you prepare yourself to meet their expectations.
