We work with you to plan a librarian-led instructional session that fits the needs of your class and your students.

To request a library/information literacy instruction session, use Rhetoric Library Instruction Request Form. We prefer that you schedule your library instruction session at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

The following list describes the types of instructional sessions available*:

• 'Standard' library introduction and basic information literacy instruction sessions (50-110 minutes)
  • 50 minutes
    • InfoHawk+, introduction to keyword development, boolean and phrase searching, one or two databases
  • 110 minutes
    • 50 minute session coverage + more active learning = more retention
      • Examples of active learning include but not limited to: flipped database searching, small group work, races, etc.
• Individually tailored instruction session with conceptual and practical learning objectives
  • Some previous examples of these sessions can be found on the 'Information Literacy' Lesson Plans page on this guide.
  • Have ideas, let us know
