BGSU - Firelands College

Abstract

Instruction and reference services are pivotal as well as intertwined functions of the BGSU Firelands Library. In addition to promoting a relaxed and inviting attitude toward the library, the librarians strive to keep instruction fresh and current. Instruction is often a students’ first introduction to the wealth of information available through an academic library. It further encourages them to come to the library often and take advantage of its reference services as well as its computer work stations and study accommodations - carrels, roundtables, sofa groupings, and study room. The librarians aspire to keep abreast of the new and innovative approaches to delivering both instruction and reference services in ways that efficiently and effectively meet student needs.
