Where to Find the Help You Need

The Library offers several tools and services to support faculty instruction.  If you have a question or need assistance using these resources, please Ask Us!.

Instructional Support

Do your students know how to find what they need in the library? Do they know how to use Google and Wikipedia as a starting point, not an ending point, for course assignments and research projects? Librarians are ready to help you improve your students’ information literacy skills and learning outcomes.

A librarian can:

  • Prepare a customized Course Guide for your class
  • Prepare in-person library instruction for assignments and research projects
  • Assist you with developing assignments that improve students information literacy skills

To request assistance:

Course Reserves

Faculty can place supplementary course materials on reserve in print or electronic format.

Canvas
