Please Note

• The schedule fills rapidly, especially in the fall.

• Instruction is most effective when faculty 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.
• Librarians are happy to consult with faculty about the session.
