Are you frustrated with the quality of your students' research? Do you want your students to practice information seeking and evaluation skills that will last a lifetime?
Our librarians will work with you to design library instruction and assignments that get students finding and using quality information. A quick overview of library services, a longer collaboration tailored to your assignments, even a specialized "badge"—we're happy to support your students in many ways and modalities. We're always excited to help integrate information literacy into your coursework, whether it's for a single class session or beyond.
I want to request library instruction
Studies show that students retain library instruction best when it is directly applicable to a present assignment, so we prefer to work with you to tailor the session's content to your particular assignment. To allow for this customization, we encourage you to book a session with as much preparation time as possible (preferably, 2 weeks).
We will do our best to fulfill last-minute requests for instruction.
