Course Instruction

Library/Research Instruction/Presentations

FOR YOUR CLASSROOM

Librarians welcome the opportunity to help your students.  In today’s electronic world, the best way to reach them initially is in your physical classroom or on your Blackboard course.

An introductory presentation on both library and web-based resources gives your students a jump-start.  It keeps them abreast of the latest in your discipline.   And it provides them with a personal librarian for the duration of their university experience.

  • In-person -- in your classroom or at the library
  • Via Eluminate or I-TV
  • In-person or electronically -- at your extended campus classroom
