Tours.
Instruction
From freshman writing seminars to graduate level research classes,
Reference and Instruction librarians provide instruction sessions in a
hands-on group setting. Generally librarians also create a class page,
or "webliography," which allows students to revisit the resources
suggested in the session. For more information or to arrange a session
see our Instruction Page.
Workshops
Information technology workshops are offered each semester to
teach students, faculty, and staff the basics of creating web pages, preparing
PowerPoint presentation, scanning images, using sophisticated mapping
software, creating multimedia presentations and using the EndNote software
for managing bibliographic references. To see our current offerings check
