Delivery of Information Services

Our instructional program employs a systematic, across-the-curriculum, student-centered approach. We teach information seeking and evaluation skills through the following methods:

• Course-specific presentations;
• Personalized student research appointments;
• Customized reference responses;
• Web-based instructional resources, guides, and tutorials.

We support an "on-call" Library Services Desk reference model where:

• Circulation student employees refer all questions to scheduled information professionals.
• Research appointments are offered to answer student information needs that require more in-depth preparation and instruction.

This "on-call" model enables information professionals to produce and update online instructional materials, content-rich Web resources, and maximizes our in-class presence. We emphasize proactive information services that include active learning class sessions, hands-on workshops, faculty office calls for research/teaching support, and interactive student research consultations by appointment.
