Research Instruction

It's that time of the semester when research projects are beginning, term papers are in train, and students individually and in classes are visiting the library to conduct research.

Faculty can arrange an appointment to bring a class to the library (or to have a librarian visit the classroom) and students can stop by the library on a walk-in basis for assistance finding, using and citing library resources.
