Librarians can work with you to identify multimodal and varied sources to help all students develop their information literacy, paying particular attention to the ways in which the work supports diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning experiences. We can help identify online resources including hard to find materials and visual and audio content that supports course goals.
If you’re thinking about scheduling a Library session for your course or program, please submit a request. A librarian will follow up with you to discuss your goals and start the process.
