5. Reserving the Library The library can be reserved for class research We have 16 computers in the VC Library for student use, and 6 in the FC Library. We encourage teachers to fill out a class planning form so the librarians have an idea of what you will be working on, and we can be better prepared to assist you and your class. We can review data bases and other on-line resources with your class. When you reserve the library for your class, you are expected to be in the library with your students.
