Information literacy is an increasingly important skill for everyone.  The ability to find relevant information and apply it appropriately is essential in education and in the workplace.

The Library Instruction Program offers general orientation classes to familiarize students and faculty with the resources and services of the library, and teaches the critical thinking skills necessary to find and filter information. 

Advanced classes focus on specific disciplines and assignment-oriented instruction.  Classes are most often scheduled for a single session; however, faculty members often find that two class sessions result in better retention of the instruction. The Library Instruction classroom is a hands-on learning environment with 30 student computers and an instructor's computer.  The instructor can control the student computers, echoing what is on the instructor's computer to all student computers, showing one student's screen to all others, or releasing the computers for individual searching.  The result is an efficient use of classroom instruction time and an opportunity for immediate practice.
