Will your students be using specialized resources like SciFinder Scholar or Simmons? Do they need training in RefWorks or EndNote? What about a tour of the library or the special collections? Let us know how we can tailor your instruction session to what your students need.

Sometimes a full hour of library instruction is just too much. If your students need only a quick introduction to library resources, ask us about having a librarian stop in your classroom for a 10-minute visit. MLC classroom visits can include a brief resource demo.

Practical instruction is easier to digest. We'll teach your students the research skills they need, when they need it.

Don't want to assign a full-blown research paper? We can help you design an assignment that will teach your students to navigate the library without weighing down your workload.

We're here for your students even after their instruction session -- by phone, chat, or e-mail. We'll come back for a supplementary library session or meet with students individually to make sure they get the resources they need.
