Library Instruction and Tours
We will provide library instruction to non-Georgetown groups on
a limited basis to support a well-defined research need that requires
Georgetown University Library resources. We do not provide walking
tours of the building.
Schedule in Advance
Please contact us at least two weeks in advance to make arrangements.
Groups should plan to visit with a clear educational objective
in mind. For example, students should have research topics to investigate
or library research tools or collections they are ready to use.
The best times for visits are during Spring Break (first week of
March), summer sessions (mid May through the first week of August),
and winter break (mid-December through mid-January). We are not
able to accommodate requests for dates in September, October, February,
or March after Spring Break.
Grade Levels
The Georgetown University Library collections are designed to
support the university’s curriculum. Because these materials
are not appropriate for elementary or middle school students, we
will provide instruction only for high school age students and
above.
Size of Groups
Due to limited computer workstations in the library instruction
classroom, groups are limited to 24 individuals. A teacher, librarian,
or school library media specialist must accompany classes. Groups
of more than 15 must have an additional chaperone.
Borrowing
Borrowing privileges are not available to anyone not associated
with Georgetown University. See the library’s web page on
visitor
borrowing.
Photocoyping and Printing
Copying is $.10 per page. Copiers accept cash or guest cards.
Computer printers accept only guest cards. Guest cards may be purchased
from library vending machines on the first or third floors. Cost
of the card is $1.00; additional money may be added to the card.
No refunds are possible for unused monies on the guest card.
