Library Instruction Request Form

Complete the form below to request a library instruction session for one of your classes.

The library instruction session can be conducted as a general orientation to the library or structured around a research assignment specific to your class. We suggest that you consult with a librarian if you're planning to create a research assignment for your students. You can also check our Creating Effective Library Assignments Web page for more information on designing library assignments.

Instructors are encouraged to attend each course-related instruction session. Your presence motivates the students to become more engaged in the learning experience being provided. Should questions arise about an assignment, your presence at these sessions provides an invaluable opportunity for students to receive clarification and direction in conducting their research.
