Teach with the Library

Librarians are dedicated to working with faculty members to teach our students research. We offer consultations with faculty members interested in improving research-based assignments, partnering to develop librarian-led instruction sessions, and developing online course resources. To see a list of the topics we teach, please see our Library Instruction Menu. To request library instruction, please use the Request Library Instruction Form.
