Education and service

Every school year, LHÍ's library and information service offers presentations and education for new students, but education is also offered for students who are further along in their studies, master's students, teachers and other school employees.

The purpose of the education is to introduce students to the library and the sources of information, digital and printed, to which it provides access and to teach them how to use them during their university studies. Emphasis is also placed on assessing the quality of information and that students can choose from and use it purposefully.

You can order counselling by sending mail to rosa@lhi.is or bokasafn@lhi.is

LHÍ teachers have a variety of services available in the library.

• Teachers can ask the library staff to remove material from the collection and/or add titles to the study library. By doing so, all students in the course can be guaranteed access to the relevant titles. It is important that the library receives information about requests for the study library timely. Requests for study libraries can be sent to namskeid@lhi.is
• It is possible to get a librarian and information scientist to come to class with a presentation/teaching in reference searches in connection with the students' project work, and if the teachers themselves want to learn better how to use certain databases, individual lessons are offered.
• It is desirable that teachers be able to provide sources in their course descriptions and that they alert the library about this before the course begins.

More information about services can be obtained from museum employees and/or by sending an inquiry to bokasafn@lhi.is
