You can see our upcoming library events and webinars on the calendar and in the list below. We offer many events that qualify for your EDUC 1300 assignment. To register, click on the link provided in the calendar date boxes below or the appropriate link in the boxes on the right to choose your preferred date and time. You will then fill out a short registration form.
Once you register, you will receive an email with the session details and the link to the online meeting room. Please watch for the email after registering since each event might have a unique link and may require a password.
If you do not receive an email with session details, please email jennifer.crispin@hccs.edu immediately.
IMPORTANT: Attendance is confirmed manually and can take 48 hours to a week to process.
If you have not received your attendance confirmation more than a week after attending a webinar, please email jennifer.crispin@hccs.edu
To facilitate confirmation of attendance, please enter your full name and your HCC student email address when logging in to the online meeting. If you are joining by phone, give the facilitator your name.
Please be sure that you are signing up for the correct webinar! Your instructor may have directed you to this page to sign up only for a particular date or topic, please pay attention to your instructor's wishes if this is the case. For example, an instructor may offer extra credit or assignment points for attending an MLA Style Format webinar (but NOT an APA one!) because MLA is the style used in her course assignments.
Registration may not be allowed after a session has begun, or for a period of time before a webinar begins.
Webinars may be canceled if there are no registrations as of one hour before the session's start time.
Webinars with registrations may be canceled if no attendees have entered the session as of 25% of the session's scheduled time (7.5 minutes for 30-minute sessions, 15 mins. for 1-hour sessions, etc,) after the session's start time.
Successful webinar participation is determined for each attendee by the individual webinar facilitator and may consist of any combination of time logged into the session and the use of certain features in the webinar platform (solicited audio or typed feedback, polls, surveys and/or activities).
Grades or points awarded are solely at the discretion of HCCS course instructors and not by the HCCS librarians/webinar facilitators.
We cannot report successful attendance in the case of any technical difficulties you might have had that prevented your attendance.
We also offer the Begin Research tutorials to introduce our students to library and information literacy concepts. Many instructors assign this tutorial for credit. If you need to complete this tutorial, it is located at https://library.hccs.edu/brtutorial/about.
Completion of Begin Research is based on the achievement of a score of 80% or above on the included Exit Quiz. When an 80% or more is achieved, students and their noted instructor will receive an email notification of successful completion. No additional completion certificate is included, so if a student needs a document to upload to prove completion, we suggest that they print their completion email as a PDF and use this in lieu of a certificate.
Some instructors offer a version of the tutorial that is contained entirely inside of their Canvas course. In this case, the Exit Quiz is contained in Canvas and graded by the course instructor.
