Tips for a successful library induction

A successful library induction, can have a major impact not only on the student returning to the library but also their grades and input in to the National student survey.

Timing is key, at the beginning of the new academic year with the first week
 Make it relevant, not only to there course but also there level of education
Get them to move, just listening to someone is very dull, provide a tour of the library
Give them a task
Make them laugh, or at least don't send them to sleep
Promote the service- it's free surely that must help
Group size's
Remember they will forget everything
