Information Literacy Instruction

In-Class Instruction

Classes can include basic orientation to the Learning Commons, advanced research for upper-level classes, or specific resources suited to any course assignment. All of the information literacy instruction sessions can be customized for individual classes. Librarians also offer instruction at the Fairview campus. Please contact your personal librarian if you would like more information on library instruction or would like to schedule a session. Please schedule instruction sessions at least 48 hours in advance.

Asynchronous Information Literacy Instruction

In addition to synchronous sessions with a librarian, librarians are willing to create on demand sessions customized to your curriculum and assignments directly into your D2L course. 

Topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Research Techniques (how to find journal articles and books)
  • Using Electronic Resources (i.e. databases and e-books)
  • Citation Styles (APA, MLA, Chicago)
  • Plagiarism
  • How to Evaluate a Website
  • One-on-One Research Appointments

Librarians are happy to customize these modules to best suit your course and you retain full control over your class and the material. While asynchronous sessions aren't a replacement for time with a librarian, they can help your students become familiar with resources available to them, and introduce them to important research skills.
