Library Instruction

The Rivers Library supports the instructional program of the University through information literacy training and by acquiring, organizing, and providing access to appropriate information resources.

• Librarians can help your students locate, evaluate, and utilize research materials for your assignment and will tailor lesson plans to individual class needs
• Professors are required to attend sessions along with their students 
• Library Instruction Sessions focus on:
  • Course specific needs
  • Information literacy
  • Using library resources

How to make the most of your Library Instruction Session:

• Assignments:
  • Students should have an assignment requiring information resource use prior to the library instruction session in order for them to receive the full benefit of the session
  • Professors should share syllabi and assignments with the librarian
• Timing:
  • It may be helpful to schedule a library session two weeks to 10 days before a specific assignment is due
