At this time, we are excited to announce our ability to provide virtual or prerecorded sessions, online modules and guides for faculty who wish to bolster their course content with information literacy concepts and instruction. Talk to a Librarian about the many creative ways we can provide instruction to your students. We have knowledge of the tools and technologies needed to provide effective online instruction.  Please complete the appropriate request form.

What do we provide with our program?

The library offers instruction sessions to the university at large, with a primary emphasis on teaching students how to use our resources for their assignments.  The library works with the first-year English program to introduce incoming first-year students to the library and our services, and we provide instruction to many other courses within the majors, ranging from lower-level to advanced, upper-level research courses.  We tailor our instruction sessions to meet the specific demands of each class by working with the instructor to determine what the session should include. We often demonstrate how to use our databases, online catalog, and web guides to seek information on specific topics.  We also provide instruction related to finding credible information on the Internet, citations, borrowing materials from other institutions, and other information-seeking skills.  Courses within the majors are typically taught by the area's library liaison.
