Welcome Back, Returning Students!

Welcome back, students!

We know you're relaxed from your summer and working hard to get ready for the fall semester. Here are several services the library offers for you and your peers.

Research Consultations
Librarians are available to meet with you individually for one-on-one research consultation appointments. If you want help broadening or narrowing a topic, finding appropriate sources, or citing sources correctly, please set up an appointment with a librarian. This service has been heavily used by your fellow students in upper level courses in previous semesters.

Course Reserves
Your professor(s) may make supplemental reading materials available to you through the course reserves system, Ares. If you have questions about library reserves, or have issues with Ares, use the Ask Us Anything service to get research help.

We hope you have a great semester, and we look forward to working with you!

We highlighted several other services in our welcome note to new students, if we missed one of your faves, please tweet us @shiplibrary or tweet it yourself and tag #shiplibrary so we can connect!

Happy Holidays - from the Library and Learning Center

Learning Center Offers Writing Drop-in Hours

Karen Johnson

The Writing Center is pleased to announce drop-in hours for writing tutoring. Every Thursday between 6 and 9pm, students from all courses and departments can stop by room 134 in the Lehman Library to receive assistance with a variety of writing topics. Multiple tutors are available to provide help with grammar, citations, thesis and topic sentence writing, as well as proofreading. Drop-in tutoring is a great option for students with busy schedules who may not be able to schedule appointments in advance. It also offers the opportunity to drop in for just a few minutes, or to stay for a long period of time to work with other student writers. Please note that this is not a drop-off service; you will be asked to stay and work with a tutor and/or a group of your peers.

Learning Center Offers Subject-Specific Tutoring Nights

Karen Johnson

The Learning Center is excited to now offer subject-specific drop-in tutoring nights! Students currently taking Biology or Chemistry courses can visit FSC 356 every Sunday and Thursday evening from 5pm – 9pm for assistance from three on-duty tutors. Drop-in Economics tutoring is also offered every Wednesday evening from 5:30pm – 8:30pm in Lehman Library room 205.

Students can stop by to ask a quick question, or they are free to stay for more in-depth assistance. Students will often form small study groups with other students from the same class, guided with the support of a tutor. This is an excellent opportunity for students to receive academic support without pre-scheduling an appointment while also getting to know some of the other students from their class.

There will be additional drop-in evenings and subjects announced for the spring 2011 semester. A full schedule can be found at - www.ship.edu/learning

The Learning Center

Just geting started can make you crazy. Help is available! The Learning Center can assist you in every stage of the writing process - overcoming writer's block, generating a thesis, organizing ideas, citing sources, or discovering how to detect grammatical errors. For a well written paper, you might want to schedule 2 to 3 sessions to work through different stages of the writing process.

So don't get frustrated when you have your next writing assignment...visit the Learning Center to see how you can schedule an appointment today.
