Tours and instructional workshops are offered at the beginning of each term to individual students and to classes.

They cover topics such as searching the Library Catalogue (MUSE), finding course materials on reserve, and locating articles and other materials via databases such as ERIC; PsychINFO; Education Full Text and others. EndNote workshops will provide help on how to easily create footnotes and reference lists for term papers.

The Education Library provides computers for student use, tables and carrels to connect laptops, wireless access, as well as photocopiers, printers and scanners. You may select to work in the quiet study area of the E-Zone, prefer group study in the Curriculum Resources Centre or in one of the two group study rooms, or just relax on a lounge chair in an informal seating area.

These services are available during regular Library operating hours, as indicated on the Library鈥檚 website at www.mcgill.ca/library/library-using/branches/education-library.
