Request Library Instruction Session

The Library offers Synchronous Library Instruction for in-person, hybrid, and synchronous online classes. Instruction sessions are held during your regularly scheduled class time.

We recommend students have a research assignment because these sessions are designed to include active learning exercises.
Please provide at least two weeks’ notice so we can prepare a session tailored to your research assignment.
Instructors are required to attend instruction sessions.

Topics covered in past sessions include:

Formulating research questions
Using effective search strategies (Boolean operators, keyword selection, applying filters/limiters)
Evaluating credibility of resources and distinguishing between types of sources (scholarly vs. popular)
Identifying relevant databases, journals, and research tools to complete your assignment

If you have questions or specific information you would like covered in the instruction session, please let us know in the Additional Comments. Your liaison librarian will follow up with you to fulfill your request and answer any questions.

If you would like to schedule a visit from a librarian that is not a full instruction session, please complete our 5-Minute Class Visit form.
