Library Instruction Scheduling & Planning

The Instruction Team receives requests from non-SU groups for orientations, instruction sessions, and other kinds of events. Although the library instruction team welcomes such requests, bringing non-SU folks can have serious legal implications associated with participants who are minors.

Please use this guide as a checklist to make sure we have done our due diligence to protect both SU and non-SU users.

1. Community Request Form - Do not make plans for an event until this form has been completed. In addition to obtaining critical information about the event, this form requires the requestor(s) to acknowledge their required presence at all stages of the event, from the time they set foot on campus until they leave. 

2. Schedule it as a Library Instruction event like normal (use of the Instruction Survey for Students is not necessary)

3. Bus parking: Before the visit, contacts should apply online for a visitor parking permit. Buses can drop off at the Rte 13 AC entrance, and then park in the Asbury Church Parking lot on the corner of Dogwood Dr. and Camden Ave.

4. Community groups may benefit by your sharing SAILOR databases that are freely available to all Maryland public schools. No login necessary; authentication access is provided through a state-wide IP.
