Would your course benefit from library instruction? 

Get ahead of the Spring Semester and email your librarian about adding instruction to your fall undergraduate and graduate courses!

In addition to classic library instruction (like citation management, source evaluation, and database searches), our librarians would love to help you bring software and technology into your classroom.

Didn’t know you had a librarian?
