Information literacy and library instruction
We offer a variety of solutions for integrating the library into your course, including in-class instruction and a variety of online resources. For more detail, see the information literacy page.
Course reserves
Faculty can place a copy of their course text or other materials on reserve in the library. Students can check out course reserves for up to two hours. For more information, see the course reserves page.
Online tutorials
Our click-through tutorials on many library resources and research skills can be of great benefit to students. Currently available tutorials are linked on the tutorials page. If there's a tutorial you'd like to see us create, please email Stacey Wilson.
Open educational resources (OER)
OER are a great alternative to traditional textbooks that allow for greater accessibility and offer more flexibility in teaching, while decreasing costs to students. For more information, see our guide to OER.
