Librarians help students develop the information skills they need for success in college, on the job, and in their personal lives. Ask a librarian to:

• help you design a research project;
• provide subject-specific research instruction for your students;
• provide resources that support your curriculum;
• teach your students how to search LIBRARY DATABASES to find articles for their research;
• work with you to create a RESEARCH GUIDE for your course’s research project;
• provide subject-specific research instruction for your students;
• integrate the College’s Institutional Student Learning Outcomes for RESEARCH into your curriculum:

RESEARCH to deepen understanding, answer questions, and discover evidence to support a concept, theory, or observation.

• Recognize when information is needed to support a perspective or argument, or to explain or validate a concept, theory, or observation;
• Locate appropriate information resources in print and/or digital media;
• Incorporate and properly cite multiple information sources; and
• Evaluate information for use in projects and/or papers.

The library supports distance learning initiatives by providing off-campus access to online databases and the library catalog, as well as providing the RESEARCH SKILLS MOOC and additional library instruction.
