Library Instruction Sessions
If your students need instruction on how to use the library in general or for a particular assignment, you can bring them in for a library instruction session with a librarian.
Research Guides
Don't have time to give up a class for a library session? A reference librarian can work with you to develop a LibGuide specifically for your class. Each guide can lead to books, journal articles, and more for the desired topics of your course.
Research Teaching/Assistance Training
Librarians are available to meet one-on-one or with small groups of assistants to orient them to the library or show them effective database searching techniques. To make arrangements for a personal consultation for you or your research assistants, contact a subject specialist.
Reserves
You can place library books, etc on reserve for your class. This allows your students to check the item out for a limited time period so the whole class can use it.
