Classes cover the research process, with an emphasis on using the resources and guides accessible on the library website to find and retrieve information from books, articles and recommended websites; and analyzing and evaluating these sources. The general skills learned in these classes assist students throughout their stay on campus and beyond. Here's a more detailed overview of what we can cover in an introductory class.

Guest Lecturer

Invite a librarian to your class for a short visit, to provide targeted instruction on a specific skill like finding course reserves or, book a longer visit, and we'll review the entire research process, identifying stages where library resources and library staff can provide assistance.
Library Tour
