Questions? Contact Cathy Le, Instruction and Outreach Services Librarian. 

Please make requests at least two weeks prior to your library instruction session first choice date. 

Why?

Integrating library instruction into your class provides the context that students need to connect the importance of library research in their academic careers.

We can create customized instruction sessions for your course or a particular assignment including selecting and narrowing a topic, using computer databases and the library catalog, search strategies, critical thinking, locating resources, and correct documentation format. Also, we can collaborate with you to effectively integrate information literacy into your curriculum and assignments. This can make a difference when reading papers and seeing Wikipedia sources versus academic-level resources. Additionally, it can help to cut down on plagiarism in assignments you receive.
