Library Instruction Program
What we offer
The Library Instruction Program at San Diego State University offers instruction sessions to support student research and critical inquiry. Our interactive and hands-on instruction sessions help students to leverage their existing skills, develop critical thinking and information literacy, and take full advantage of the library’s vast services and print & digital resources. Instruction sessions can be held in your classroom or within a library classroom. Sessions can be scheduled in-person or online via Zoom.
If you are interested in specialized library instruction with a Subject librarian or Library Center you can reach out to them directly:
How to schedule:
Complete the request form for your preferred instruction type (detailed above). Once submitted, a librarian will contact you to confirm the details.
Lead time:
To allow for enough time to prepare for the session and ensure a room is available please submit your instruction requests at least two weeks prior to the session.
Help your students to get the most out of library instruction:
We have found that there are a couple of things that help students to benefit most from a library instruction session:- Students are familiar with the assignment before the session
- Students have chosen a research topic, or few topics they are exploring
