Instruction Program and Services

A primary goal of the Library is to be a significant part of students' academic success. To help in this process the library offers instructional support. Faculty are encouraged to use the information and links below to schedule instruction sessions.

Instruction Sessions in the Library

A librarian will discuss the assignment you are giving your students, and schedule an instruction session in the Library. During the session, the librarian will teach students how to use library databases, print resources, and how to better utilize the Internet to gather reliable information.

Scheduling a Library Session

Please use the online form to arrange a library instruction session for your class, or contact a librarian directly via the University Library Subject Specialists page.

Design of Library Assignments

Library assignments are an effective tool in helping students develop their critical thinking skills and better evaluate information sources for their papers and projects. Librarians can offer assistance in designing or revamping a library assignment.

Design of Research Guides for Specific Classes

Librarians can create a web page for your class which will guide students to credible resources, in the Library and on the Internet. The page will be on the Library web site and can be tailored to specific research assignments. You may talk with the librarian that is teaching your instruction session, or you may contact a librarian via the University Library Subject Specialists page.
