Attending with your students

Your presence is necessary to see the sources we've shown, the issue we've discussed,
and so that you can field questions about the assignment. Your presence also demonstrates that you value research skills and that the library session is an integral part of your course

Confirming your request
Expect to receive confirmation of your requested session within 3-4 business days. You will be given the name of your course's librarian instructor and the date, time and location of your session.

Enhancing student learning through customized instruction
So we can customize your session, please send your course session's librarian instructor:

  • your reading list
  • a copy of the research assignment, and
  • a list of students' topics

Workshop locations
Sessions are usually held in Moffitt or Doe Library classrooms with 13-20 PC workstations for hands-on work. Arrangements can also be made for in-class presentations.

Alternatives to Course-integrated Library Instruction
The Library also provides short, online tutorials and online guides to library collections and services.
