Library Research Sessions & Information Literacy
Email your department liaison to schedule a Library Research Session in the Library, or in your classroom.
Your department liaison will tailor the content of the information literacy class to your students' particular needs.
The Information Literacy Sessions:
- are specific to an assignment and the students' research topics.
- are interactive and require student participation.
- provide an overview of some of the sources that work best for the students' projects.
- provide time for every student to get individual attention if needed.
- provide ample time for each student to leave with at least one source (preferably more) that starts them in their research.
The librarian will often create a Library Course Guide, listing the best sources for the students' research.
Librarians are also available for one-on-one research help with your students.
