  • SCHEDULE A CLASS, ORIENTATION, TOUR OR WORKSHOP
    SEL librarians can provide presentations and activities on using electronic and print resources including journal article databases and other reference sources, UCLA Library Catalog and other library catalogs, and Web search engines. Course related instruction is available upon request of faculty members.  Orientations can be set up for academic departments and special programs or student groups.  Tours of the Chemistry, Engineering & Mathematical Sciences, and Geology-Geophysics Collections can be arranged by appointment.

    Please contact an SEL Librarian subject specialist to discuss or contact Marion Peters, Head, SEL Public Services, for general information on arranging library classes, orientations and tours.

    TEACHING FACILITIES
    The SEL Learning Center, located within the SEL/EMS Collection, is equipped with twelve computer workstations for individual use. Tables and chairs can be quickly reconfigured in this room to accommodate a variety of scenarios, including lectures and group collaboration.  A large-screen projector and an audio system are built in.

    Group study rooms and the SEL Conference Room may also used for instruction for smaller groups. Wireless access is available in all library spaces, including the SEL Learning Center, Conference Room, and group study rooms.
