Library Instruction for Classes

We offer a Library Instruction Program tailored to course curricula and class assignments. Instruction classes are designed to teach information literacy skills and introduce students to effective use of print and electronic sources for research. We focus on:

• How to Research a Topic - including how to identify a topic, choose appropriate resources and develop a search strategy
• Locating and Retrieving Materials - including using the GIL library catalog, GIL Express and GALILEO databases
• Evaluating Sources - including identifying scholarly materials and locating authoritative information on the Internet

We would be happy to design a session tailored to your class assignments or work with you to develop assignments that incorporate information literacy skills and library resources.
