Library Instruction

Library faculty are available to teach class sessions for students, faculty, and staff on the research process, specific databases, or orientations to the physical building and collections.  They can assist faculty in developing assignments and learning experiences that will enable students to reach learning objectives.  Librarians regularly teach introductory strategies for research and resources to students in English 2020 (Freshman/Sophomore Composition) and some Cornerstone classes.  However, sessions on more sophisticated and specialized information strategies in subject-specific areas are encouraged.  Contact the library and ask for your liaison to discuss your needs.
