Library Instruction

The library has a classroom space that is specifically designed to accomodate requests for library instruction. The primary purpose of this classroom is to provide students and faculty with a place for groups to learn library research techniques, taught by Reference Department Librarians. Stonehill College faculty, staff and students may reserve the room for class presentations, computer training sessions, etc. on a one-time or occasional basis. No semester-long reservations are permitted. The classroom is available to Stonehill students as a general purpose computer lab when it is not in use as a classroom. You must have a valid Stonehill computer account to use these computers.
