Course-Related Instruction

The Library offers course-related instruction, anything from an introductory session for first-year students working on their first research paper, to subject specific sessions directly related to a higher level course. We will work with you to tailor the session to your curriculum - either a demonstration in your classroom or a hands-on session in a Library computer lab. Some examples of recent course integrated instruction include:

• Psychology 111: Hands-on instruction of PsycINFO and PubMed with time for targeted individual help with student research topics.
• SWC 100:A Sweetland Writing Center seminar with a demonstration of ProQuest and a discussion of the differences between scholarly and popular research resources.
• RefWorks for School of Education Graduate Students: An introduction to RefWorks (a bibliographic management tool) for students starting their dissertation work.
• Nursing 505 (Bio-Behavior I): Hands-on instruction in MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane to introduce effective search skills, locating evidence-based nursing literature and tools in evidence-based practice.
• Patient and Populations 501: Combination of lecture and hands-on instruction integrated into this first-year Medical School course introducing students to health information sources including PubMed and Stat!Ref, using a case-based approach and orienting them to the overall UM online information environment.
