One of the goals of the University of Delaware Library is to assist in meeting needs of Library users in the state of Delaware, as well as the needs of the faculty, students, and staff at the University.

School groups desiring to use the Library's resources to complete an assignment are welcome to visit the Library. Such groups can benefit extensively from a Library orientation session provided by librarians, who are information specialists willing to guide students in the successful use of Library resources. Following the orientation, students are welcome to stay and work on their research projects.

Additionally, all public K-12 schools in Delaware have access to online databases, magazines and encyclopedias through the UD Lib/SEARCH program, managed by the University of Delaware Library.

So that students visiting the University of Delaware Library may benefit the most from this experience, the Library requests that instructors observe the following guidelines

• Orientations and/or school group visits to the Library should be scheduled at least one week in advance. To schedule an orientation, please contact Meg Grotti, Coordinator of Library Instruction (Reference Department phone (302) 831-6230; e-mail ).
  
  
  
• It is requested that groups visiting the Library be no larger than 40 students.
  
  
• Teachers must accompany the class and remain with students at all times. One adult for every ten students is recommended.
  
  
• It is the responsibility of the adults accompanying the class to monitor their students' use of Library electronic resources, including the Internet.
• Students are expected to behave appropriately and in a manner which does not disturb others; disruptive behavior, such as loud talking or running through the Library is not acceptable.
  
  
• Students will be unable to check out library books, but parents or teachers may purchase a Public Borrower's card at the Circulation Desk in the Morris Library. There is a $25.00 annual fee for Delaware residents.

  Note: DelAWARE: the Digital Library of the First State provides access to a number of excellent databases from home to anyone with a public library card.

• Teachers who know that their visiting group is not going to arrive at the Library on time are asked to call the Reference Office at (302) 831-2432 to alert library staff to the situation.

• If parking for a school bus is needed, call Public Safety at (302) 831-1184 to make arrangements.
