Instruction

WE have Face To Face and VIRTUAL instruction!

Schedule a face to face and/or online, synchronous, information literacy, research, or general library orientation for your class using the Library Instruction Request Form. The class session is taught by a faculty librarian and is completely customizable to meet your research needs. 

We are also interested in having "walk in workshops" for students that are independent of your classes. Topics such as: Evaluating Sources, Misinformation, Disinformation and Fake News, Finding and Interpreting Data, Using Library Resources, Citing Sources. Please let us know which topics you feel may be valuable. Contact Miguel Murillo Ayala at [email protected]
