compassCourse Activities

Course activities are hands-on and self-paced. They are sequential, and will first take you on a tour of the collections, sampling the different media formats, and then guide you in developing basic search strategies and tips for successful searching. If you have questions or comments, our reference librarian is an email message away at ndlpedu@loc.gov.

We also offer this course with opportunities for discussion with Library staff twice a year. To be put on the mailing list for our next class, email our reference librarian at ndlpedu@loc.gov.
