Request an Instructional Session
Hinds Community College Libraries support the institutional mission by providing instruction in finding, using and evaluating informational resources. Librarians are ready to assist you not only within the library, but also by presenting a customized instructional session for your class. This instruction session can be tailored to a specific assignment or to a specific subject. Instruction sessions are available for all aspects of the learning community including dual enrollment classes and online courses. Librarians are able to teach research skills via online sessions as well as face to face.
After the session, please take the Instruction Survey so that we will know how we are doing and how we can improve our instruction.
If you have any further questions, please call the Reference Desk at 601-857-3378 or e-mail at lrcraymondcirculation@hindscc.edu, or contact the Administrative Librarian for your campus Library.
