Request a Research Instruction Session
Enhance your students' research skills with a tailored instruction session. Here's how to make the most of it:
- Schedule Early: Contact the teaching librarian at least one week in advance. The instruction calendar fills up quickly, so request early in the semester (or even before it begins).
- Collaborate on Learning Outcomes: Work with the librarian to establish learning outcomes for the session.
- Prepare Students: Make sure students understand their research assignment and have a possible topic in mind before the session.
- Attend and Participate: Your presence conveys the value you place on developing strong library research skills. Actively participate by interjecting information, asking questions, and encouraging students to engage.
- Share Your Zoom Link: Share any Zoom course links with the librarian for seamless online access.
- Cancellation Policy: Please note that we require 48 hours' notice to cancel a session for any reason other than illness or emergency.

Collaborative and Inclusive Teaching Support
