Library Instruction

Who receives this form?  Forms are received by the Reference/Instruction Librarian.

When should I schedule the class?  You can request a class for any time, but please provide us with two weeks advance notice. If the date you choose is unavailable, we will ask for an alternate date. Try to schedule the class for the week you expect students to begin work on their research assignment. If at all possible, the students should have already chosen their topics, since there will be time at the end of class for hands-on work.

Do I need to come to the class too?  It is the policy of the library that course instructors be present during library instruction.

Should the students bring anything with them to the class?  Please ask your students to come to class with a working network logon, a college ID card (to check out books), and a copy of their research assignment.
