Overview
The Memorial Library system is dedicated to ensuring our users learn to effectively find and evaluate information in all of its varieties. We teach classes in library and internet research; we create tutorials and guides; and we consult with instructors to create assignments which build information literacy skills. In our ever more complex information environments, these skills are increasingly important for academic and professional success.

Classes
Library users need support in undertaking research, and such support is best provided through instruction from professional librarians. Classes are designed to teach the concepts and skills required to effectively use Library and Internet resources.

Consultations and Assignment Ideas
Along with teaching classes, we offer assignment development services to faculty who want to incorporate information literacy or research skills components into their courses.
