Help Students Become
Information Savvy

Instruction sessions work best when:
- Students have an assignment that requires them to use the library and they receive it prior to their scheduled library workshop.

- Instructors test the assignment to be sure that it is workable and that the resources needed to complete it are available.

- The librarian and instructor design workshops to address immediate information needs.

- Librarians have time to think about the learning outcomes and plan an appropriate workshop.

- Students sense their instructor’s enthusiasm.
