Academic staff may request customised library programs for their units by contacting their School Librarians. Here are some notes regarding this service:
- Academic staff may provide the research project and/or assignment topics at least one week in advance if they would like the School Librarians to customise the program content and format to meet the unit’s research requirements.
- The program will be conducted in the venue of the academic’s choice. The Library Training Room will be offered if it is available. In the event the Library Training Room is already booked, academic staff may have to coordinate and arrange to reserve one of the ITS computer labs.
