The James B. Duke Library is happy to partner with local high school teachers who want to introduce their students to academic library research.

1. The library can accommodate one class of 22 students or fewer, per visit.  Sessions will be limited to one class from any school per day. 
2. The library will provide instruction sessions to high school-aged students.  The materials housed in and accessed via the James B. Duke library are scholarly and age inappropriate for younger grades.
3. In keeping with the C & IS Visitor Account policy, each student under the age of 18 is required to complete and have signed by a parent or guardian, the Computer Use Request Form.  Completed forms must be returned to the library 10 days prior to the session.  Students without signed forms will not be allowed access to electronic resources in the library.
4. Teachers who want to bring their students to the Furman Library for instruction must have a specific assignment created and distributed to students prior to their visit to which the instruction librarian will tailor his/her presentation.  Research topics should be shared with the instruction librarian prior to the session.
5. 2 weeks notice is required to schedule an instruction session.  Sessions are arranged depending on the availability of Instruction Librarians. Sessions may not be available during peak times during the term.
6. Laura Baker is the contact person for teachers interested in scheduling a session.  She may be reached at 294-2277 or laura.baker@furman.edu. Other librarians may be consulted to teach sessions as needed.
