A thorough Library orientation program designed specifically for first-year Undergraduates marked the beginning of the Academic year for the Busitema University Faculty of Science and Education (FSE). Mr. Omalla Wilberforce led a solemn prayer to begin the program, which was designed to acquaint students with the procedures and resources of the University library. The orientation turned out to be a crucial first step in introducing students to the resources available to them for their Academic work.
The program's facilitator, Mr. Mukungu Isaac, assumed the initiative to oversee the orientation's communication and registration processes. He gave a well-organized talk that covered important details about many areas of the library's operation. The main purposes of the library, the rules and regulations governing the library, and the fundamental rules of conduct that govern the atmosphere of a library were all explained to the students.
A vital part of the orientation was the thorough explanation of the Library's hours of operation. The hours at which students can access the library's extensive collection of resources were communicated to them, giving them plenty of opportunity to conduct research, study, and advance their Academic careers.
The orientation covered online resources to give students the tools they need to use the FSE Library website and the Busitema University Library website in this digital age. A useful tutorial on using the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) for rapid and simple resource retrieval was part of the program.
This is the first event of the Academic year and a testament to the Institution's dedication to holistic Education. Instilling in students the values of scholarly inquiry and ethical academic conduct, as well as to developing their understanding of library resources, is another goal of the program. To sum up, the Faculty of Science and Education's successful Library Orientation marks a fortunate beginning for the incoming first grade students' Academic careers. The institution makes sure that its students are ready to delve into the depths of knowledge by providing them with a solid foundation in Research techniques and Library utilization.
