Maybe things are different now, but when I first started lifting weights at a gym years ago, the owner (small gym) showed me around, gave me demos of different exercises and a chart to use. Here's a website of various lifts using free weights.

I would recommend starting at a low weight to get your form right. If there is no one there to help, make use of the mirrors, make your own charts and keep track of your weight & reps.
