Request Library Instruction

Faculty can request instruction for their classes. Librarians will create tailored, "point of need" instruction for face to face and online classes. To enable us to prepare, please provide:

• A minimum of one week’s notice to schedule instruction
• A copy of your assignment at least one week in advance.

To request instruction, please either:

• Contact your subject librarian (list below) OR
• Fill out the instruction request form (link under this text)

Library instruction works best when:

• Students have an assignment that requires them to use research or library resources.


• The librarian and instructor are collaborators and have discussed ahead of time the assignment, topics or themes, where students are in the process, outcomes and other key info. If you would like, librarians are happy to help you plan a research assignment.


• Students know the assignment before they come to the library.


• Students are graded or accountable in some way for participating in the library class.
