Library Instruction

The library provides classroom instruction and workshops on various critical research skills and supports the creation of a spiralled curriculum of research skills within program development.

If you are interested in course-integrated library instruction or curricular development support, contact libraryinstruction@uwindsor.ca. 

Please keep in mind:

• It is best to link the session to a class research assignment. This increases the relevance of the session for students and allows them to put new skills into practice immediately, for maximum retention of searching concepts
   
• When possible, consult with a librarian when designing the research assignment. They can keep you up to date on new tools and/or changes in the Library that may have an impact on your assignment
   
• Schedule the session during class time. Sessions arranged outside of class time tend to be poorly attended. Also, when booking a session with a librarian, provide as much lead time as possible, particularly during busy times in the fall term. We will do our best to accommodate every request, but short lead times make it more difficult to ensure a librarian can prepare and be available.
   
• Send the librarian who will teach your class your final draft of the assignment and a copy of your syllabus. We design each session individually and the more we know about your course content, the more we can tailor the session to your needs.
