Library Instruction and Research Help
One-on-One Consultations or Small Group Sessions
Librarians will come to your office or to a departmental meeting to deliver a training session designed to suit your specific needs. We can customize a hands-on tutorial for small groups. The length of the sessions and the content are entirely up to you (see a list of possible topics below). To set up an appointment, or to discuss your specific request, contact Alison Farrell.
Course-Specific Instruction
The most effective library instruction is tailored for and integrated into a course. Librarians can work with course instructors to develop library components and, if desired, research assignments that will complement your teaching objectives and help your students develop their information literacy skills. To arrange a session for your course, contact Karen Darby.
Faculty Orientation
New faculty are encouraged to make an appointment for a brief orientation to the library. Find out about the services and products that are available to you, such as our literature search service, in-class library instruction sessions, and more. Come with your questions and any ideas you might have about how we can help you. To request an orientation, contact Alison Farrell.
