Instruction and Research Consultation
• In addition to offering individual instruction at the reference desk, librarians offer classroom instruction to facilitate effective use of information resources. Instruction sessions vary from basic introductory classes to those focused on subjects or specialized resources, such as electronic databases and the Internet. Instruction may take place in the classroom or in the library. See the Library Classes for a schedule of classes for the campus community. Contact the librarian subject specialist in your discipline to schedule classes related to a specific course or on a specific topic.
• Librarians also provide individual assistance to staff, faculty and students who want more detailed knowledge of information resources in a subject area. This assistance is available by appointment. Please contact the subject specialist in your discipline to set up this type of research consultation.
