Assigning a paper that requires library research? A librarian can visit your class to help your students find the resources by introducing them to:

• doing research at the college level
• effectively finding and evaluating information
• finding popular and scholarly resources relevant to a specific assignment
• basic and advanced searching of library resources such as the main library search and subject-specific databases
• citing sources in appropriately in specific styles

The library offers a suite of short interactive tutorials as part of our Research 101 module. At the end of each tutorial, there is a form that lets students notify their instructor via email that they’ve worked through the tutorial.
