LRC Tutorials

Welcome to the VCCS LRC Tutorials Web page.   These tutorials have been developed by staff at a number of the colleges and represent an on-going effort to provide our users with good introductions to the many resources that are available to them.

Click on any of the following links for an introduction to that resource:


CONNECT for Success -- a tutorial for information literacy
VCCS'  CONNECT for Success tutorial is based on James Madison University Carrier Library's "Go for the Gold" information tutorial. JMU has given us permission to use their content in our tutorial
WebPac This tutorial introduces searching in the web based library catalogs of the VCCS.
FirstSearch This tutorial introduces searching in the largest of the index and abstracts databases available to VCCS users.
InfoTrac This tutorial introduces searching in InfoTrac, one of the larger electronic information databases, primarily full-text articles. 
VCCS Web Research Guides Technically not a tutorial, this is a collection of links to subject-based Web Research Guides created by individual VCCS LRCs.

 These tutorials were developed under the direction the Web Development Sub-committee of the VCCS Library Automation Advisory Committee.  The members of the sub-committee and others who worked on one or more of the tutorials are listed below.
