Instruction at the Science & Engineering Library

Library tours, course specific or general introductions to library resources or other library instruction tailored to your class or research needs are provided by our Librarians.  Library instruction is entirely customizable – faculty can work directly with the librarian instructor to design a session tailored to a particular class’s information needs.  Instruction can take place in the library or the librarian instructor can meet with the class in its normal classroom.  Examples of topics we can cover:

• Introduction to the Library and Library Resources *
• Search Strategies *
• Citing Sources, including RefWorks *
