Librarians provide library instruction throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. We instruct incoming students on the types of resources found at the library, how to identify scholarly research, and help students develop their research skills. The librarians can provide instruction in the classroom or in the library.
Students can book research appointments with the librarians anytime during our open hours and specified research hours. They can do so by calling the library directly, emailing the library or librarians, or in person. We welcome and support all students along their research journey.
