Library instruction is more than just a visit to the library. We offer a variety of live and asynchronous options to fit the needs of your course and students. Instruction requests can range from a single brief video demonstration to our embedded program in which a librarian works with your students throughout the semester. We've gathered various samples in this guide and invite you to browse through the formats, activities, and resources that are available to you and your students. When you're ready to request a service or session, simply use the request form below or contact the Public Services Librarian at 815-224-0305. We look forward to working with you and your students this semester.
