Faculty Guide to the Libraries: Research & Instruction Support

Library Research & Technology Instruction Requests

To arrange library research or technology instruction sessions, customized to the needs of your classes or I.S. groups, please contact your Subject Liaison Librarian. Together, you can work to find a day and time that works for both of you. Reserving multiple sessions is also always welcome. 


Librarians can teach about a range of topics related to research and information literacy. Some examples include: 

  • Navigating College research tools and types of sources
  • Understanding scholarly conversation and citations
  • Locating and applying primary sources
  • Understanding (or deconstructing) ideas of scholarly authority
  • Evaluating information (of all kinds- not just scholarship) for reliability, narrative, and opinion
  • Understanding peer review and types of sources 
  • Topics in critical information literacy, such as digital divide and information privilege, AI literacy, censorship, information for profit, and more.
