Library Orientation Session for Postgraduate Students

Welcome to the Run Run Shaw Library!

To support your academic success at CityU, new postgraduate students are strongly encouraged to attend a Library Orientation Session. The Orientation Session will help you to acquire basic skills in using library resources and services.

An Orientation Session for postgraduate students consists of 2 parts:

  1. Library Orientation Tour
    The Library Orientation Tour helps familiarize students with the locations and arrangements of books, journals, and other library materials. A brief overview of the various Library collections and services will be provided.
  2. Orientation Class
    During the Orientation Class, you will learn how to:
    • Locate needed information by accessing the Library's website
    • Use the Classic Library Catalogue to identify and locate library materials
    • Access Library databases appropriate for your subject area
    • Take advantage of special services for postgraduate students
    • Get help from librarians and other library staff members

    The Orientation Class will include hands-on exercises!
