Workshops and Library Instruction

Through library instruction, students learn to search, read, think, and contribute in an engaged and iterative research process. Our librarians teach in-person and online workshops tailored to your assignments and courses. We can also create asynchronous instruction content such as tutorials and Research Guides. Common workshop topics include (but are not limited to) using library databases, effective search strategies, evaluating sources, and using information ethically.
