Library instruction sessions are one of the best ways to ensure that your students develop valuable research skills. Please consider setting aside class time for a course-related workshop on library resources.
Students who have the skills to find, evaluate, and use information are more successful in their classes and will be more successful at life-long learning after graduation.
Interactive workshops tailored for specific classes, assignments, and topics typically last 50 minutes and combine demonstrations of electronic resources, discussions of search strategies, and hands-on practice. You may also wish to allow extra time for searching practice and individual consultations. Workshops can be scheduled in a campus classroom or in a library instruction space.
