Library Instruction Guidelines

Contact the Instruction Coordinator AT LEAST two weeks prior to the session to reserve the instruction room and dicuss your needs. Please have an alternative date in mind in case the time you request is unavailable.
Schedule the library instruction session for a time AFTER students have been given their assignment and will actually need to use the library. The timing of library instruction is CRUCIAL to student motivation and learning.
Library instruction sessions will generally not be scheduled during the first week of the semester.
No more than six classes will be scheduled per week, when at full staff. All librarians in the Reference & Instruction department have regular hours they must serve at the Reference Desk as well as Library and University commitments.
Classes or workshops dealing with library instruction are given first priority for use of the Electronic Classroom. The classroom is available for reservation to other campus groups for one time use within 1 week of the event (contact Coordinator of Instruction for reservation details). Campus groups wishing to reserve the room on a regular, ongoing basis must receive prior permission from the University Librarian.
