Library Instruction 

Gearing up for a new quarter?  Don’t forget, the library provides a variety of instruction options for faculty and students!  Library Orientations, research sessions, and individual help are provided by the librarians, both on campus and remotely using Zoom.  Faculty can request an orientation for on campus classes in the library or the classroom.  For online classes, a librarian can provide an orientation via a live Zoom session.  Asynchronous courses have the option to either provide their students with the Library Orientation Course in Canvas or schedule a Zoom meeting with a librarian.  In addition to the course, the library provides video tutorials for students and faculty.
