Information Fluency & Library Instruction

Don’t overestimate what your students may know about doing scholarly research. Today’s students are used to relying upon Google and Wikipedia for their information. Often they need to be shown how and why to use scholarly indexes and databases to find good research. The Library and ITS offer a variety of instruction programs to meet faculty, staff and student needs.
