Library Instruction: Non-Coastal Classes [ L.I. main page ]

Guidelines:

1. The students must be engaged in a research project. Since the online catalog and Infotrac indexes are available in Horry County Schools, students must have already exhausted the resources of their school library and local public library before coming to Kimbel Library. When the session is scheduled the teacher is asked to provide full details of the assignment, as well as their research expectations for the class.
   
   
2. Tours and sessions are limited to no more than 25 students at a time due to space limitations in the library. One teacher or adult must be present for every 10 students. Teachers are asked to stay with the group to help assist them in their research efforts.
   
   
3. Tours and sessions are only offered when Coastal classes are not in session. A schedule of dates will be made available at the beginning of each semester. Teachers are urged to make arrangements as early as possible to ensure getting the dates they want.
   
   
4. The Library Instruction Coordinator is responsible for scheduling all tours. Every effort will be made to accomodate school classes, but availabilty of tours is not guaranteed.
   
   
5. Library Instruction sessions are not given to Horry-Georgetown Technical College classes since similar sessions are available at HGTC. HGTC classes wishing to meet in Kimbel Library must schedule those times with the Library Instruction Coordinator at least two weeks in advance.
   
   
6. General information tours are available to non-school groups. Two week advance notice is required and availability of such tours may be limited.
