The Library offers a variety of programs to promote awareness of the breadth and depth of the collections and to foster the ability to use research materials in and outside the library efficiently. Instruction Many professors schedule course-related instruction for their students to learn how to find resources specifically related to their assignments. As there is a heavy demand for these classes and librarians prepare intensively for them, we ask for two weeks advance notice. These sessions are usually held in the Library's electronic classroom.
Some departments arrange a library session for their majors as well.
To request an instruction session, please contact the Library Instruction Coordinator. Bibliographies and Research Guides Reference librarians prepare bibliographies, check-lists, and other guides to using the Library, its collections and electronic services. Some of these are available in our publications rack at the Reference desk, while most are available via the Library Homepage. Please contact any of the Reference librarians with suggestions for new publications. Faculty often suggest students avail themselves of this service, whether their students are neophytes struggling with the research process or seniors working on a thesis.
