12:05 p.m., Jan. 24, 2003--The University Library is offering an “Orientation and Training-to-Find-Information” session for UD secretarial staff Jan. 29.
“These workshops, which have received the highest kind of rating as a staff development activity, were extremely popular last time they were offered with very positive feedback about the usefulness of the information gained in meeting job responsibilities,” Susan Brynteson, May Morris Director of Libraries, said.

- Library databases, especially Lexis-Nexis Subject Guides to the Internet ("Best of the Net");
- Periodical full-text databases;
- AskRef and AskRef Live!;
- “New” DELCAT;
- Electronic journals; and
- Article Express.
Participants also will receive an overview of nonelectronic library services and an introduction to useful reference works. Questions are welcome after the session, and refreshments will be served.
