Library 101 is a one-hour, free to the public, orientation to the OSU Libraries. It includes a 30-minute walking tour of the Edmon Low Library, followed by a 30-minute introduction to the OSU Library website and library catalog. The Oklahoma State University Library offers Library 101 sessions throughout the school year.

Reservations are not required for Library 101.

OSU faculty may arrange special class tours and other library instruction sessions by contacting their departmental subject-specialist librarian.

OSU Library Tours are intended as a general introduction to the library facilities and services. Librarians walk the tour group through the building while pointing out a variety of services and providing basic information about how to find research materials in the Library. Tours generally last 30 minutes and start at the General Reference Desk on the 1st floor of the Edmon Low Library. Each tour is followed by a training session on the Library's online catalog in room 206.

OSU Library Online Training is a brief introduction to the OSU Library Catalog. Hands-on training is conducted in the Library's Computer Training Lab, Room 206. The 30 minute session instruction will cover:

• Author, title and keyword searching
• Holdings statements, format searching, and current periodicals location
• Branch holdings, Government Documents, and microforms

Note: Library 101 sessions will be held twice each day as noted below. It is not necessary to attend both sessions.

We also have a Virtual Library Tour available for viewing.
