Course Guides
The subject librarians teach a variety of classes to help students become oriented to the library to find the information they need
for their assignments. Several create "electronic pathfinders" to help students better find their way around the Web and to
provide a targeted Web page which is meant to support the assignments for those courses.
Resources by Subject
Your subject librarians have begun creating electronic pathways to subjects areas represented by the schools at Penn College.
An accounting and tax page, a natural resources management page and a health sciences page will give you a taste of the possibilities.
