Library Instruction Request

Information literacy/research skills are essential skills for lifelong learners. University Libraries strives to help you develop these skills in students through instructional sessions tailored to meet the specific research objectives of your course.

Please fill out the form completely. Sessions should be scheduled at least one week in advance. Let us know if you have not received a confirmation notice within 48 hours. Your session has not been scheduled unless you receive a confirmation notice from us. Contact us at 601.266.4249. (An asterisk "*" denotes a required field.)

Online Session (50-90 min)
A hands on session using Chat or Wimba for students enrolled in online classes. Online library sessions can be tailored to specific assignments or can be a general overview of library databases and services.

Introductory Session (40-50 min)
Includes brief tour and intro to finding materials in one of the library collections.

Assignment-Related Research Session (50-75 min)
Hands-on library sessions which walk the students through the research processes and tools needed for a specific class assignment. Tip: Students learn research skills more effectively when they are fully aware of the requirements of the project or assignment before they come to a library instruction session.

Advanced Research (Minimum of 90-120 minutes)
Advanced research is an intensive instructional session to help students learn the mechanics of research necessary for literature reviews for theses, dissertations or other graduate projects.
(recommended for graduate classes)
