Welcome
to the Blinn College Library!
The Blinn College Library conducts walking tours of our facilities when requested by students or faculty.
These orientation sessions will offer our students, in all disciplines of study, a basic introduction to library resources and services. After touring the
facility, the library website, policies, and procedures for using our resources will be discussed in our instructional classroom. The goal of
the walking tour, lasting about 20-30 minutes, is to make our students feel comfortable in coming to the library and asking for help. Students do not need to make an appointment prior to a walking tour,
but a blue ticket can be issued as proof of attendance, if required by an instructor.
In collaboration with faculty members, in-depth instructional classes are provided throughout
the semester. Instruction may vary from finding resources through the Blinn College Library Online Catalog, locating scholarly journal
articles in our periodical databases, or evaluating the relevance and authority of information in all its formats. All classes will be taught
in our instructional classroom with hands on activities of skills acquired. The teaching librarian will be giving an assessment of skills
taught at the end of each instructional session. Instruction request forms are available online through the library website.
