Abstract
Traditionally the distance clinical laboratory science students visit Winston-Salem State University three or four times during the course of the semester. These visits are usually for orientation and testing purposes. While the students are aware that there is a library on campus, they are not familiar with all of the library’s electronic resources that they have access to from their home computers. The distance and health science librarians decided to collaborate to design an informational CD-ROM specifically for these students.

Cotina is Health Sciences Librarian at Winston-Salem State University. She has been a librarian for eight years and a health sciences librarian for a year and a half. During this time she has consistently looked for ways to increase patron knowledge of library resources and the services available to them. Julie has served as the Distance Services Librarian at Winston- Salem State University since 2001. Her focus is on designing instructional materials to teach the research process for distance learning and traditional students, either for online or face-to-face use. She has previous experience in both academic and public libraries and a lifetime interest in lifelong learning.

Winston-Salem State University has 5,500 students.
