Virtual Learning Tutorials
We've developed and curated a collection of interactive tutorials and instructional videos that help library users at all levels to develop or enhance a variety of information literacy skills.

Online Research Guides
Librarians develop online guides that provide an overview of available resources for a particular discipline, present relevant topics like plagiarism, and introduce research basics.
- Choose one or more of these subject, topic, or course online guides and link them from your Canvas course.
- Work with a librarian to develop a custom course guide which
- Gathers and organizes relevant resources for your course like books, articles, website, database, etc.
- Provides your students with tips and strategies for effective research and citations.
