Through course instruction, librarians teach methods of research, sources of information, evaluation of information, and educational technology tailored to fit the specific research and curricular needs of students in particular courses.

One-on-one Research Consultations

Students can make an appointment with a librarian to receive individualized assignment specific assistance.  See our website for contact information or use Make a Research Appointment to schedule a consultation. 

Librarian - Faculty Collaboration

Librarians work with subject faculty to design appropriate information literacy instruction beyond the first year level. Together they identify appropriate Information Literacy competency needs and outline when and how those IL competencies will be addressed.
