Request Instruction

Planning a course? We’ll work with you to develop customized instruction tailored to your topic area or objectives.  

Request an instruction session

Choosing an instruction topic only serves as the first part of your conversation with library staff. Together, we’ll design a session that's right for your students.

Please submit your request at least two weeks in advance of your preferred dates so we can ensure library instructor availability and prepare materials.

What we teach

We teach a wide range of sessions that cover topics such as:

  • Accessing and using special collections 
  • Finding, using, evaluating, and citing sources
  • Creating and designing graphics, websites, presentations, data visualizations, games, zines, and more
  • Using tools such as Wikipedia, Omeka, and Twine

These can be taught through interactive activities, directed research or lab time, and other techniques, in a single session or over multiple meetings.

Whether you’d like to schedule an in-person or online session for your students, get help designing an assignment or a course, or more, we’re here to help you meet your goals.
