Instructional Methods

Course-Related

  • Undergraduate, Graduate and Doctoral Students

    • Sessions are taught by subject liaison librarians and focus on research strategies, critical thinking concepts, and research and citation resources. 

    • Library instruction sessions are typically tied to a research-based course assignment. 

    • Course guides are designed to accompany instruction and facilitate research.

  • First-Year Undergraduates

    • All first-year students attend a Library session in the Writing and Communication Colloquium, part of the Foundations of Writing and Criitical Inquiry program, for an introduction to academic research skills.
