Library Instruction Session Guidelines

  • The best time for a library instruction session is after a research assignment has been assigned and students have chosen their topics. Students are more likely to be motivated to learn about research resources at the point of need.        

  • Students learn best by doing, and we encourage you to allow time to actively reinforce their learning through hands-on practice (searching databases, etc.).        

  • Instruction sessions must be requested a week before the date requested.   

Open Educational Resources (OER)

OER are free and open textbook alternatives. Contact the library for assistance with:

  • Identifying potential OER
  • Using OER with a class
  • Information on authoring and sharing your own OER 

Request Materials for the Collection
