Library Instruction

Instructors can help students develop information literacy skills by scheduling a library instruction session.  These sessions may include, but are not limited to:

  • An overview of the library's physical layout and general research resources.
  • A demonstration of the library’s Primo Discovery System and its electronic and physical resources, in general or targeted to a specific discipline or research project.
  • Instruction on the development of search terms, the use of limiters and Boolean searches, and guidance in the assessment of reliable resources.

Please complete the Library Instruction Request form to schedule an instruction session in the Library Computer Classroom (LIB 210) or in your own classroom. 

Priority for LIB 210 will be given to instructors requesting library instruction sessions. If you do not require library instruction, please contact the Scheduling Office to arrange an alternative space.
Classes scheduled for library instruction sessions must be accompanied by their instructor.
