Online Library Resources
Workshops to help you work smarter, not harder.
Online Library Workshops START the first day at 8am (PST) of the semester and END the Thursday before the last week at 11:55pm (PST).
The Avoiding Plagiarism one-hour workshop will help students learn about different types of plagiarism and ways to avoid plagiarism in assignments. The Library created this workshop because they don't think students plagiarize on purpose and want to empower students during the research and writing process.
What students are saying:
"This workshop is so educational. I'm really glad it's part of this online class module. Very informative and I definitely have a clearer concept of what plagiarism is. Thank you!"
The Coastline ONLINE Library is a great resource for students! Learn all about it in this one-hour Library Orientation workshop.
What students are saying:
"Frankly, there isn't anything else that I would like to learn about the library that wasn't introduced in the orientation. The orientation was in-depth and easily digestible. I am confident that I can access these resources for any academic-related purposes moving forward."
"I am thrilled that Coastline has provided an orientation for their students to access resources provided for them. I would also like to comment on the production of the orientation. It was done exceptionally well, and I enjoyed the way Elizabeth presented the information. Thank you!"
Learn how to cite right with APA in this student requested workshop. There are lots of details in citations and this workshop helps you understand why citation styles are required in college essays, how to write in-text citations, and more. You even get to practice APA and get feedback from a librarian.
What students are saying:
"This workshop really taught me to slow down, read with comprehension and pay attention to even the smallest details of citations."
"I really liked the Credo portions and the videos from Coastline staff. Both were engaging, explained the process and (hopefully!) helped me retain the information. This is such a challenging task, I honestly don't know what could be omitted and still teach the material effectively."
An instructor requested workshop, cite right with MLA helps students understand why citations are required in college essays and cover details about in-text citations, Works Cited list, and many details about MLA. This workshops will help you master MLA.
What students are saying:
"I am pleased that I learned so much about citation and plagiarism. It was challenging for me to correct citations, and it is still hard, but I am getting used to it. It is necessary if you are a college student, so I am focusing on learning about this more."

The library workshops use online proctoring programs to discourage cheating and verify you are the student taking the workshop. We do this because it is the law (Federal Code 34 C.F.R. 602.17(g)) and CCCD Board Policy (AP 4150). In the library workshops we use Proctorio for this. The video below explains Proctorio for students.
