Patron Services: Upcoming Research Orientations: How to Use the Library of Congress

How to Use the Library of Congress Research Orientations Join us for two upcoming orientations introducing new researchers to the Library of Congress. These sessions will outline information on the Library's resources, collections, and services: how to locate, request and use materials when visiting onsite; using digital collections, our website, and free resources from offsite; how you can access journal articles, databases, and other information sources. We'll also cover the basics of doing library research: successful search strategies, and how to select and use appropriate sources and tools. Reference librarians will share guidance on how to get a library card, establish your Library account, and how to access materials from Reading Rooms and Research Centers when visiting us in person as well as when researching from wherever you are.
