Library Instruction

All library instruction classes are taught in L-200. Faculty may schedule a library instruction class for their students to introduce them to the library's resources, materials, and services.  Subject specific classes may also be scheduled to meet the needs of your students.  A minimum of two weeks notice is needed when scheduling a class.  Contact Yalonda Carson, coordinator of library instruction classes, (678) 466-4330 or yalondacarson@clayton.edu to schedule a class today!
