Library Instruction Sessions

Library instruction sessions, taught in a computer lab by a librarian, include a hands-on demonstration of the library catalog and research databases, including NC LIVE, along with a discussion and demonstration regarding evaluation of web sites. They may also include instruction to help students develop effective research strategies or to learn how to use discipline-specific resources, such as Literature, Nursing, or History databases.

Instructors may request specialized sessions which concentrate on research in a particular subject area. All instruction sessions should be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Contact the Reference Librarian at (336) 506-4208, or fill out a form at the circulation desk to request a session. Please attach a copy of your syllabus.

Instructors are asked to notify the library 24 hours in advance before bringing classes to the library to do research.

Please go to the library's Tutorials & Orientations pages for an online library orientation and for help with online research.
