Now, as a new student at the university, you will probably need some sort of guidance to help you to use thelibrary effectively to study and research.
现在，作为大学新生，你可能需要一些指导帮你有效的利用图书馆进行学习、研究。
some of you have asked about a guided tour but we find this rather muddles people.

So, in this first week, we run a series of talks which focus on different aspects of the library and its resources.
所以在第一周，我们举办一系列关于图书馆及其资源的各方面的讨论。
You 'll also find that to get the most out of the library you really do need to be computer literate
你还会发现只有当你成为电脑通才能从图书馆获得更多的东西。
and so all this term we run small classes which will bring you up to speed on how to access the computer loaded information.
