Course-Integrated Modules

Library Research · 60-90 minutes (during regular class time)

This is an in-depth, hands-on instruction session with discipline-specific library resources, and is integrated with course assignments. This goes beyond the basics covered in first year courses to concentrate on scholarly communication and information within a discipline. The specifics of the session will depend on the needs of the course. All levels of students will benefit from this session.

Please Note

• Our schedule fills rapidly, especially in the fall.
• Please schedule early and be flexible about the dates you can meet.
• We find instruction is most effective when you are present in the class.
• If students are expected to do library research as part of an assignment it is best to schedule the session(s) for when students are really working on the assignment.
• We will be glad to consult with you about when the session may work best with your syllabus
