Faculty Resources: Instruction + LibGuides

The librarians are happy to provide class instructional sessions for any course you teach. 

Some types of instruction: 

• Library 101: How to conduct a literature review, find resources in the library, what is peer review, etc.
• Source Evaluation: The library has created a custom checklist for evaluating sources, as well as a lesson plan and activity. We can come to your classroom to teach about source evaluation, or you can use the guide we created to teach it yourself!
• Project-specific: How to do research on a particular subject for a class project, paper, or presentation.
• A Library Tour: Bring your class to the library to learn about what we have to offer.

If you would like a librarian to come to your class and give a presentation, please give us time to prepare. Typically two weeks if we have never done a presentation in your class before. We will be creating a LibGuide from scratch and need time for research and coding.

You can also request a librarian via our Instructional Request Form online.

LibGuides software has been in the use in the library since 2013. The librarians work with professors to customize a LibGuide for their classes. These guides can then be used over and over again across terms and even when classes change professors. Some sample LibGuides are listed below.
