1) Attendance Sign in: lib.nova.edu/attendance (online form)
(If the librarian passed around a paper sign-in sheet, there is no need to use the online form.)

UNIV 1000 - virtual library tour and introduction to library/research terms
BIOL 1500 - how to find and cite articles for your lab report
BIOL 1510 - how scientific publication works and finding articles for your lab report
