NCC faculty members may request course-related library research instruction for their classes. Instruction sessions are taught by librarians who tailor the content to the specific class assignment and the students' research needs. Instruction sessions can include print sources, the Library catalog, Internet resources, subscription databases such as Infotrac's Expanded Academic, General Reference Center, General Business, and Health Reference and FirstSearch which covers a wide variety of subjects in 54 databases.

Instruction sessions are held in the Library in rooms L20A/B and L20C.

Please schedule your class at least two weeks in advance. The NCC Library Instruction   Request Form can be used to schedule your class session, or you may contact the Library Reference Unit at 572-7408/09. Always include the following information:

• Your name and e-mail address, a phone number where you can be reached
