Our Subject Librarians can support your teaching and your students' learning. We can help you to: 

  • find information and resources for your courses 
  • acquire databases, books, videos, journals, etc. for the library collection
  • understand Library resources and services that will best support your students
  • use copyrighted materials within Fair Use 

Your Subject Librarian can work with you to support information literacy for your students. We can:

  • develop instructional tutorials, program and course Research Guides, videos or other learning objects for your classes or programs
  • help develop assignments that can be supported by library resources
  • present library instruction sessions in person or via Zoom to introduce your students to resources that are appropriate for your assignments
    • Please schedule these at least one week in advance to give librarians time to adequately prepare.
