Dual Enrollment  Tags: dual_enrollment  

Hi,

My name is Lola Gilbert. I work in the Research Services Unit at UNO's Criss Library. Some of my responsibilities include providing library instruction for English 116 and Speech 1110. I also have the privilege of being the Dual Enrollment Coordinator for the library. On this page you will find information and resources about library instruction and the Dual Enrollment Program.

Thank you,

Lola Gilbert

Presentations

Presentations are available upon the request of a dual enrollment instructor or library media specialist.  Please use the form below to make your request.

Library Instruction

Dual enrollment faculty and students have access to the Criss Library databases.  Instructional sessions on using a particular database (or group of databases) can be arranged by completing the form below.  Sessions can either be at your school or at the UNO campus.

Library Tours

Aside from our electronic resources, the UNO Criss Library also has other resources that dual enrollment students or faculty may find helpful or interesting.  Some of these resources include our Language Learning Center and live feed from the Hubble telescope.  Tours of UNO's Criss Library can be arranged by completing the form below.

Librarian Faculty Status and Training

Librarians at high schools that participate in the Dual Enrollment Program through UNO may apply for faculty status. Librarians who have been granted faculty status have off-campus access to most of UNO Criss Library's databases.  Instructional sessions on using a particular database (or group of databases) can be arranged by contacting me.  Sessions can conducted at your school, at our campus, or through our virtual classroom.

Scheduling Presentations, Tours, Instruction, or Labs

To schedule a presentation, tour, instruction, or a lab please complete a CRISS LIBRARY VISIT/INSTRUCTION REQUEST FORM .  Smaller groups are more easily accommodated than larger ones. Due to limited numbers of computers and classroom space, it is better to bring smaller groups or divide larger ones into groups doing different tasks in different areas of the library. A ratio of one high school instructor per 15 students is recommended.

WEEKENDS

The UNO campuses have open parking on the weekends. No permits are required. However, the reserve stalls are ticketed 24/7. Visitors can park in any surface faculty, staff or student lot as long as it is not a reserve stall. Reserve stalls are noted with a sign in front of the stall - handicap, service vehicle, etc.
