Library Instruction

Learning Opportunities

The library offers free workshops on a range of topics including citation manager, finding data for reuse, beginning genealogy, and company research. See our calendar of events for current offerings.

Library Instruction Classes

Course-integrated, hands-on classes that support students in developing skills in information literacy, research skills, and critical thinking are available upon request.

To schedule or get more information:

Instruction may take place over one or more class periods and may meet in Dimond Library's Instruction Room (Dimond 421), Dimond's Studio 235, in any of the Branch libraries, or in a campus classroom.

Note: Please make instruction requests as early in the semester as possible, but at least one week in advance, to allow for librarian scheduling and class preparation. Instruction session availability can fill up quickly, particularly during certain weeks of the semester.

One-on-One Research Consultations

Make an appointment with a subject librarian to support course and assignment development, research and resource assistance, and scholarship at all levels. Please contact a librarian in any of the following subject areas to schedule an appointment.

Research Guides

Online research guides, created in collaboration between faculty members and librarians, collect a variety of subject- or assignment-specific resources in one place.

Guides may be customized to include how to use the library to conduct research, as well as links to discipline-specific databases and websites, multimedia tutorials, citation help, and other support tools.
