Libraries Provide Instruction to Over 3,000 Freshman Students through English 101 Classes
Over 3,000 students attended the Libraries’ instructional sessions for freshman students enrolled in English 101 classes over the past several weeks. In total, 160 sessions were held and students were taught fundamental research skills and to effectively use library resources to locate scholarly information.
The sessions provided a brief introduction to the characteristics of databases and database search techniques. This was followed by students working independently to conduct research for their projects as library instructors offered individual guidance.
The Libraries welcome English 101 students
Over the next few weeks, students enrolled in English 101 classes will be headed to the library for an introduction to library research. The computer labs on the lower level of W. W. Hagerty Library will be reserved for classes most of the day.
