While it is not mandatory that a librarian teach, we do consider ourselves experts in librarianship, and have had considerable experience teaching research skills to students. We know our collection and the resources, and will work with you to prepare a session that encompasses your preferences. Please consider discussing with a librarian what you would like to have included in your class instruction. Students find specific information more useful than general introductory information. We can discuss with you the best strategy for making this happen.
Students are always more attentive when there is a context to the instructions they are receiving.
If you wish to teach the class yourself, please call ahead to schedule the time that you wish to come. We request a 7-10 day advance appointment. Our busy times fluctuate with the school year, but are frequent nonetheless. Calling to schedule your class' arrival will insure that you will not be turned away due to lack of computer terminals. Please call Brett Spencer at 348-1200 to schedule a time.
