Orientation tour for Cambridge libraries staff: University Library [West Road] BeginnersNew
New for 2023, an orientation tour for Cambridge Library staff - UL, Faculty or College.
The UL is unique: a national, legal deposit library with an amazing collection of around 8 million items - over two million of which you can browse on our open shelves. This tour will replicate what we show new users during orientation tours. If you have never been to, or used the UL before, it may provide useful information and context for your own library inductions.
All Cambridge libraries staff.
