Faculty Guide to Library Services

One of the ways that Library Services supports your teaching is with in-class instruction sessions customized to suit your class and your students’ needs.  We teach classes targeted to research for a specific assignment.  It is best to book these sessions in advance, especially at the busiest times of the semester.  We find that these sessions work best a few weeks before an assignment is due, but after the students have been introduced to its requirements. 

Visits last approximately 30 minutes and teach research skills, such as:

·         Choosing a topic

·         Developing a research strategy

·         Finding journal articles

·         Finding and requesting books

·         Evaluating sources

·         Citation management

·         Navigating the library’s resources

·         Research assistance on campus

·         Finding government documents and statistics

·         Finding business information
