Librarian Instruction
Liaison Librarians deliver instruction that provides students with essential literacy skills, supports academic success and bolsters career readiness. Class visits are structured to meet the unique learning needs of students by semester or course.
We teach:
- How to search library databases effectively and properly research using a variety of sources

Liaison librarians offer in-class sessions at all campus locations virtually and face-to-face. We can also develop asynchronous resources to support the needs of your class!
Topics include:
- Using the library website
- Introductory or advanced research skills
- Using the library catalog, databases and research guides
- Subject and assignment-specific research
- Evaluation of information resources
- Plagiarism and citation, including APA citation/referencing
In-class sessions vary, and are customized to suit student needs and/or a particular course assignment. Reach out to your Liaison Librarian so we can customize a session for you or use the "Library Instruction Request" form!
