Library Instruction

All about how library instruction works and how sessions can be scheduled at Foley Library.

How to Request an Instruction Session

There are three main ways to request a library instruction session for your class:

  1. Contact the liaison librarian who works with your department or program. Learn who "your" librarian is and how to reach them by checking this list
  2. Contact our instruction coordinator, Kelly O'Brien-Jenks, for assistance with scheduling a library session and for answers to any questions you have about how library instruction works and the scheduling process.
  3. Use this form to submit a library instruction request. You'll give details about your class and your students, what date(s) you'd like to hold the session on, and any information about assignments that might be linked with this session (i.e. the final paper for your class requires 5 scholarly sources).

Library Instruction Mission Statement

The goal of the instruction team is to develop information competence in our students, preparing them to be life-long learners able to contribute to intellectual and social progress.

The library instruction team is here to help students and faculty navigate the world of information literacy. See our contact info to schedule an instruction session.

Library Instruction Labs

Foley Center Library has three instruction classrooms on the main floor of the library:

  • East Classrooms (A & B) - "the Glass Classrooms." Movable furniture, outlets for personal devices, 2 instructor stations with wall monitors. Partition can be opened to accommodate large classes in a single room.
  • West Classroom - 6 tables, 24 seats, 1 instructor station with wall monitors. No computer stations.
