An important aspect of student’s education is learning to find what he needs. Because much of his work in the years ahead will be with textbooks, reference books, periodicals and other learning aids, it will be worth knowing how to use the library and its sources.
The student therefore should familiarize himself with the school library – its rules and regulations, its location, its trained staff, as well as its method of classifying and arranging books so that he can effectively use its resources.
