Library Instruction

Faculty Class Request for Library Instruction:
Library Instruction Request Form (.pdf)
Faculty Guide 2008 (.pdf)

Subject Coordinator Librarians offer hands-on, discipline-specific introductions to research strategies and resources to your classes. Although librarians provide instruction for many writing (WRT) courses, we encourage faculty from all disciplines to bring their classes for more specialized or advanced instruction in library resources and services.

Library instruction is usually provided in (but not limited to) the Library Classroom in Room 309. This room is equipped with 30 networked computers and a projector. Librarians will also work with you to create effective research assignments and up-to-date research guides and bibliographies. If you also plan “library days” with your class, we strongly recommend that you schedule the classroom in Room 309 for use with your students. We encourage you to ask a librarian to participate in “library day” sessions.To schedule a class, or, if you have questions about library instruction, please contact Amanda Cain, or contact your Subject Coordinator Librarian (see "Library Personnel" under > About Us or consult the Faculty Guide above).

Student Request for Library Instruction:
When Should Students Use the FHG Library?

All students are welcome to schedule a one-on-one library orientation with the Information Literacy/Humanities Librarian, Amanda Cain, or with a Subject Coordinator Librarian. Graduate and transfer students may find the individual assistance with library resources and services especially useful.
To schedule an individual orientation, please contact Rachel McMullin, 610-736-0510, FHG Library, Rm 209, email: rmcmullin@wcupa.edu or a subject librarian.
