Instruction

The Library Instructional Sessions teach students about library resources in a particular subject area and services available in the library.  For example, if a professor has given an assignment on "human resource practices", the instructional session would teach students how to use the full range of our information resources on this topic.

Library Orientation
Library orientation is integrated into the freshman course, UNIV 101, The University Experience. Students learn about library services, different types of information resources, how to search the catalog and online databases.
