Library instruction is one of the core services provided by the library. Students learn how to effectively and efficiently use research tools and techniques. Whether attending library instruction sessions or utilizing our online tutorials students acquire critical thinking and problem solving skills by learning how to select and evaluate books and electronic databases based on credibility, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose.

With this in mind, it is a pleasure for us to teach your students how to conduct library research. We are able and willing to help them develop lifelong learning and research skills they can begin to use now. Please take a few minutes to complete the online request form so we may schedule your instruction session.

The following rooms are available

• Classroom 1 Room 226 & Classroom 2 Room 227 (each seat 30)

Use of the library classrooms without a librarian will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Priority will be given to faculty working with their students on a research project or faculty who request a very brief (usually 15 minutes) library overview. 

Requests for library instruction to be held in the professor's classroom or off-site location can also be made. Be sure to select desired location 'Library Instruction Offsite' then follow directions below. If time seems to be unavailable submit anyone then email Beth Pye (bethp@gordonstate.edu).
