Online Registration Form for Research Orientations to the Library of Congress

Research Orientations providing a basic introduction for researchers using the Library of Congress collections are offered to the public on some Mondays of every month except August and December. Most orientations are scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, with one evening session offered each month from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. The sessions are held on the ground floor in Room G07 in the Jefferson Building, just below the Main Reading Room.
