Q. How do I schedule a library orientation/library instruction session for my class?

You're invited to schedule a library instruction session for any class you teach that will require students to conduct research or another information-seeking activity. We can record instruction videos, or create custom tutorials. We ask that instructors request a session at least a week in advance; an email confirmation will be sent usually within 24-48 business hours of its receipt.

Tips to ensure the best and most effective experience for students:

• Library Instruction is most effective when your students have an authentic need to use library resources.
• Make arrangements / schedule early in the semester, but time it so that it falls just as they're getting started on the assignment/project.  You might even schedule it so that students have had a few days to try searching on their own.
• Provide the library with information about what the students will need to do - while most librarians will cover the same basics with every class, they will also want to show the resources that will be most helpful for the specific tasks students will need to complete.

Information about library instruction options can be found by clicking the "Request Library Instruction" link on the library website.
