The online Library Research Skills Tutorial is a self-enroll course that provides students with an introduction to the college library’s services and basic research strategies. These strategies include searching the Academic Search Complete Database, locating materials in GLOCAT (the library’s catalog), requesting materials via IDS, and citing sources. This tutorial is designed to supplement the WRTG 105 library instruction program, but will benefit any student who needs to brush up on the library tools available to them.
