Virtual Library Orientation S.Y. 2021-2022
One of the library services provided to new students at the start of the academic year is library orientation. Due to new normal setting, the traditional way of conducting the library orientation was transformed into online library orientation. This is a new service that the library has developed in order to introduce library services and resources to students and faculty members, with a focus on the library’s accessibility to its clients despite changes in learning styles. The library provided this year’s orientation to students of all year levels via Zoom and MS Teams in collaboration with faculty members. From October 26 to November 4, 2021, students from the Colleges of Business and Education and Maritime Education participated in an online orientation, while Junior and Senior High School students attended an orientation on November 22, 2021.
