Bibliographic Instruction
Bibliographic Instruction by the Reference Department of Magale Library is offered to faculty during the entire academic year. It’s purpose is to help students understand and use all the facilities available to them at the library, particularly the online research.
Bibliographic Instruction works best when it is given at the beginning of a research assignment. The Library Instructor can tailor the classes to focus on those resources that will best serve a particular research need. In addition, bibliographic class booklets are provided the students with the anticipated subject resources. These booklets will also focus on the particular research assignment.

Online research instruction requires at least a full class period. Any additional instruction or advanced research instruction requires several sessions. The initial class can be scheduled during the normal class time or it can be scheduled outside that time period if you are willing to have the class meet in late afternoons or early evenings.
To schedule a class, email , or leave a voice message at ext. 5058. Information needed for any request: Class Title, number of students, subject of assignment, and date or dates of instruction times that would be preferred. Class attendance will be taken by the librarian in the absence of the professor attending.
