NSO: New Student Orientation

SCC New Student Orientation (0 credits)  

Description:  NSO, online student orientation includes a  short video highlighting critical library services for new students. The video is optional for students, and there is no assessment of library student learning outcomes within NSO.

Information Literacy, STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES from the SCC Library: Our very broad outcomes for NSO students are that they:

1. are aware of the SCC library and website

2. know that they can ask for help 24/7 at the SCC Library

3. have positive associations with the SCC library and its personnel.

ASSESSMENT: We do not currently assess Information Literacy, student learning outcomes in NSO.

I. Greeting (Dana and Janine)

  • Who we are
  • Why we value the library

Purpose of the library is to provide information.

Our website has resources and services for students, on-campus and online.

We recognize your expertise in other parts of your life, you don't need to be an expert here. Ask us anything

"We can take you where you are and get you where you need to go."

Library is for asking questions. It can be scary to ask questions. Let's practice. Here are some cards.
