About the Sessions and Guide

What are these library sessions all about?

During the semester, I'll visit your class 3 times. If you're wondering why you're going to spend so much time with a librarian, that is a great thing to wonder. Over the course of the semester, I will get you started doing college-level research. Look at the box below to see what our learning goals are.

Here are a few things you should know:

  • I am here to help you learn and I understand that doesn't work the same way for everyone, and that a few hours isn't long enough to do more than get started. So, please reach out for help during and after class and use this guide often.
  • I do my best to foster an inclusive classroom environment to ensure that all of you are respected, safe and supported in your learning. If you do not feel that way for any reason, I hope you will let me know so I can do something about it.
