Class Instruction

Reference Librarians are available to instruct all levels of classes in research skills. These sessions may consist of general orientation to library resources or specialized instruction focused on the discipline. We will also gladly assist you in designing assignments that make the most of library resources and help your students learn appropriate research skills. You may arrange an instruction session for your class by contacting Jenny Lowery (jlowery@uu.edu or 661-5058) or Melissa Moore (mmoore@uu.edu or 661-5408). Please contact us at least one week prior to requested instruction date.

Subject Guides

Librarians can develop a subject guide highlighting the best databases, reference sources, journals and websites for your class. These subject guides can also include special tutorials specific to your discipline. To request a subject guide for your course, contact Jenny Lowery (jlowery@uu.edu or 661-5058). Please allow at least two weeks for subject guide development.

WebCT Integration

Whether your class is completely online or you are using WebCT to enhance your classroom, librarians can help you integrate library resources in a variety of ways. Librarians are available to participate in your course as an "embedded librarian," participating in discussion boards and posting material to the online course. We can supply you with tutorials to include in your online course materials. These tutorials can include instructions on using the library databases and catalog, the research process, citing sources, evaluating websites, etc. Contact Jenny Lowery (jlowery@uu.edu or 661-5058) for more information on these services.

Literature Searches

Reference librarians are available to assist you with your research by helping you locate needed resources. Contact Melissa Moore (mmoore@uu.edu or 661-5408) or Jenny Lowery (jlowery@uu.edu or 661-5058) to request assistance.
