Types of Library Instruction Course-Related Instruction

The Ivy Tech library offers instructional sessions to any class in all subject areas. We will tailor the session or sessions to your class' specific library needs. A typical instruction session will teach the students how to use the Virtual Library, IvyCat, and electronic databases. Sessions can be held in the library classroom or in the faculty member's classroom, and typically last 120 minutes.

Consider arranging for a library instructional session if you have a specific assignment that calls for library resources. The sessions work best if the assignment is handed out to students prior to the actual session. For assistance in developing a library assignment, consult the Designing Effective Library Assignments section.

To schedule a library session for your class, contact the North Meridian Center library (921-4782) or Lawrence Campus library (921-4219) or submit an online request form for North Meridian Center or the Lawrence Campus. Please book your session at least one week in advance.

IVY 070, ENG 025, and ENG 111 instructors are asked to have their students complete IvyTILT before coming to the library.
