Through an accessible and sign language-assisted orientation, the participants were introduced to the different library services, guided through the Main Library sections, and engaged in workshops on borrowing procedures and digital library services.
An open forum also provided an opportunity for students to raise questions and become more familiar with the resources and assistance available to them.
The activity was made possible through the collaboration of the ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ, ๐๐ข๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐ง๐ฒ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ.
