Schedule Library Instruction
Library instruction (bibliographic instruction) is
a useful tool for any class required to conduct research or gather
information for presentations, assignments, or exams. In addition
to guiding students to the best print and electronic sources for
their research, library instruction can also reduce anxiety for
less skilled researchers, assist in broadening or narrowing a
topic, distinguish between scholarly and popular material, and give
students a base to conduct future research. Visiting the library
shouldn't be like visiting the dentist!
Each instruction session is tailored to address the
exact topics and areas of research in your class. So that we may
customize each session to meet your needs, please use the following
guidelines to schedule a session:
-
Schedule an instruction session as far in advance
as possible. In order to create custom user guides for each class,
at least a week's notice is required.
-
Either call Connie at x8336 or one of the
librarians directly to schedule a session.
-
Due to limited space in the lab, class size is
limited. If you have classes larger than 40, we may need to split
the group into two sessions. If you have Internet access in your
classroom, it will be possible for us to come to you. Allow
additional time to set up the proper equipment.
All classes and all levels can benefit from library
instruction. Instructions range from general overviews of the
library to advanced upper level database research. If you would
like more information about this service, please contact any
librarian.
