Request for Library Instruction Session:
Marple Campus

Faculty members should fill out the online "Request for Librarian Instruction Session" form found on the Library tab in delaGATE to request instruction sessions in the DCCC Library or to request use of the Library computer classroom (Rm. 4546) for your personal instruction.

Paper forms are also available in the library.

If you have any questions regarding this form or the scheduling of classes, please contact Dorothy Hatcher in the Library Administrative Office (Rm. 4554) or by phone at x5150. Office Hours: Fall & Spring 7:30am-3:30pm

If you have not received a confirmation from Dorothy Hatcher within 3 days of filling out the form, please contact her at x5150.

The following guidelines for faculty scheduling will assist us in adequately preparing for the instruction sessions and enhancing their effectiveness. Your assistance is an essential element in that endeavor.

  • 2 weeks notice is required for scheduling classes.
    The library has the right to decline a class if sufficient time is not given.
  • Faculty is encouraged to schedule library sessions during the first four (4) weeks of the semester regardless of when the class is to be held in order to accommodate ALL requests.
  • Classes larger than 25 students will need to be broken up into two sessions.
  • Please use a separate electronic form for each separate course. Multiple sections of one course can be listed on one form (up to 3 sections per form).
  • Assign the research-based project to students prior to the library session.
  • Please include a copy of the assignment related to library instruction.
  • The librarian scheduled to teach your class will contact you after scheduling to discuss the content of the session.
  • Faculty members who choose to teach library instruction sessions on their own (without the assistance of a Reference Librarian) still need to schedule these sessions using this form found on the Library tab in delaGATE.
