Library Instruction

How We Can Help

In collaboration with teaching faculty, the Libraries’ Outreach & Engagement (O&E) team practices innovative, evidence-based pedagogies to build student research skills and promote the critical use of information.

We teach information literacy in a variety of ways, including:

Assignment-based instruction

Work with a librarian to design an instruction session tailored to the parameters of your assignment. Please see our best practices for more information about scheduling and planning an instruction session.

Customized research guides

Curated lists of library resources tailored to your discipline and/or course.

A la carte workshops on specific topics

Examples include but are not limited to Zotero, writing a literature review, primary sources, creating citations, advanced search techniques, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Individual consultations

Meet with a librarian to learn how the University Libraries can support your teaching and/or scholarship. We also meet one-on-one with students about their research.
