University Library Instruction Program

Our active Library Instruction and Information Literacy Program includes the following instructional services:

• Face-to-Face Instruction

In order to enhance student learning, librarians design face-to-face instruction sessions that are tailored to specific courses and research assignments. Faculty can contact their instruction librarian to schedule instruction in our computer-equipped instructional facilities, or they can request that librarians come to their classrooms.

• Online Learning Modules

To meet the learning needs of students 24/7, the library provides self-paced online tutorials and guides, including interactive, how-to screencasts that faculty can link to from their webpages or from Blackboard. Many of our tutorials contain quizzes and certificates of completion, making it easy to incorporate them into your classes as homework assignments, as extra credit, or as part of students' class participation grade. 

• Librarian/ Faculty Collaborations

Librarians are available to work with faculty on teaching and learning projects, such as:

• • Designing or revising library research assignments to ensure that they are up-to-date and aligned with current library resources.
  • Constructing subject and course guides that meet the research needs of your students.          
  • Integrating instruction in research skills and other information literacy competencies into courses and programs.
  • Assessing student learning of information literacy skills.
