You’ve probably spotted the link to the Library’s orientation page on our homepage http://library.canterbury.ac.nz/orientation.shtml It contains links to various things going on in the Library during orientation. Promotional posters have be put up around the campus and in the Halls – there’s also an ad in Omag.

Twitter competition
Running from next Monday until Friday the 7th March.
Students need to follow the Library’s twitter account and post their top library tip using the hastag #toplibrarytips
Prizes will be drawn each weekday.

Treasure hunt
Designed to introduce new students to the Library.
Running from Monday 17th – 7th March (it’s started a week early for students on the Dovedale campus who have started classes this week.)
Prizes will be drawn each weekday from next Monday.
Students can enter online or using a print copy of the Treasure Hunt available at each Info desk – along with a box where completed entry forms can be posted.

Tower race – 5th March

Displays and Tours
Each library will have a display designed to appeal to new students. We will also be offering tours in each library – EPS, MB, and Education are on demand. Central Library are scheduled at different times during the day.

How you can help..
It would be great if you could promote the website and the activities going on – either in classes or when you talk to students at the Info Desk or around the Library.

Thanks, Margaret & the Orientation Group
