How We Can Help You

• Individual Consultation
  Any faculty member may request an individual instruction session in his or her office or in the library. Topics can include everything from eBooks to use of library resources in general.
  
  
• Group or Departmental Consultation
  Instruction Library staff is available to provide orientation to new faculty or to demonstrate the use of any of the library's resources. Contact the Instruction Librarian for more information.
  
  
• Instructional Design Support
  Library staff can work with faculty to create or revise assignments that require the use of the library or other informational resources, including the Internet. Services can also include identifying information literacy objectives, providing you with ideas for classroom activities, and providing you with the means to assess the information literacy skills of your students.

• Class Instruction
• • Faculty may schedule an instruction session for any class. Instruction sessions often work better with classes that have a research component. These sessions should start close to the time that the students begin their assignment.
  • Course-related instruction can be customized to meet the needs of your class' assignment. Examples include: creating a search strategy, finding books and articles on a particular topic, using specific databases, and evaluating print and electronic sources.
  • For classes with up to 25 students, sessions can be held in the library's Infolab.
    
    
• Plagiarism Tutorials
  Use these presentations to give your students an overview of plagiarism.
