Faculty Guide to Library Services: Instructional Services

New students can benefit from an introduction to our library's spaces and services.

We welcome faculty teaching classes such as CAS 101, UNV 101, or other introductory courses.  Sessions cover topics such as who to ask for assistance, reserving a study room, printing, and using the Library's Discovery System, Primo. 

Contact your liaison librarian to schedule a library introduction for your class.

Liaison librarians provide course-integrated instruction upon request for students at all levels from first year undergraduates to PhD candidates. If you plan to assign a research project or presentation, contact your liaison librarian about designing and scheduling a tailored instruction session.

Our librarians offer several types of information literacy instruction options for your classes at all levels. Library instruction is course-integrated and tailored to your assignments and the needs of your students.

Instructional options include, but are not limited to:

• Working with your students once or multiple times through the semester
• Combining instructional techniques, such as lectures, presentations, group activities, and one-on-one research assistance
• Developing a course LibGuide
• Embedding in your myCourses site to publish library content and/or establish asynchronous or synchronous interaction with your students
• Helping develop or iterate existing research assignments to maximize student learning

Classes may be requested for in-person or via Zoom.
