Distance Services for Faculty: Instruction Sessions By Request

FSU Libraries offers scheduled instruction sessions with students to help them get a better understanding of how our library services work. These sessions are customized to suit the needs of your class, no matter the subject area or their location - these services are available not only to classes on our Tallahassee campus, but to those students and faculty within our iSchool. These sessions may be requested to introduce classes to major research tools in specific disciplines, and emphasize use and comparative value of the discussed resources and how they fit into the context of the research process. Library instruction can provide specialized instruction to help students:

• understand the research process
• focus and narrow a topic
• locate a variety of materials on specific subjects
• distinguish primary from secondary sources
• recognize scholarly vs. popular articles
• explore information resources
• prepare for future research needs
• reduce library anxiety
