Library Orientations
In standard library orientations, we will go over how to use the databases and catalogs. We can tailor a session based on research questions your students may use for your class or a specific assignments. Students may practice using the databases and the catalog using a worksheet. This can be done in the library classroom, your own classroom, or a Zoom session.
Library Tour
Schedule a time time for your students to learn more about the library and the resources available. Students will learn about the databases and learn how to navigate the catalog. Students will complete a library scavenger hunt that takes them throughout the library and on the library's website.
Research Assistance
We are available to meet with you or your students for research assistance and/or MLA or APA citations.
