Colleagues
In the University of Limerick Library we are currently looking at how we can
introduce mature students to the Library in an easy and painless way for
them. We currently give tutorial sessions to them, so to supplement this,
we are considering designing print literature and online tutorials
specifically aimed at mature students.
Has any of your libraries developed a systematic and measurable programme of
induction for mature students, or even for 1st years? If you designed a
printed guide or created an online tutorial to introduce users to the
library, how successful was it? We are particularly interested in the
online aspect, i.e. if you used particular software, if you bought an online
product, its success or failure, etc.
Thank you
Ciara
