Welcome back, CSN instructors and professors! If your course includes a research or critical thinking component requiring the use of information, we invite you to schedule library instruction with CSN Libraries over the coming semester. Our librarians are eager to work with you to create a customized instruction session (or multiple sessions) for the research assignments in your courses. You can use our easy, online booking form to choose the date, time, location, and learning outcomes for each session.

Focusing beyond traditional library orientation sessions, CSN librarians support hundreds of classes each semester through targeted instruction sessions across all campuses and with a variety of programs. No matter what discipline you teach in, we can tailor a session to help students develop skills to more fully engage with information so they are better prepared to complete their research assignments. If you have any questions about our on-campus instruction sessions, please contact Becky Blunk at rebecca.blunk@csn.edu. If you are interested in library instruction for your online classes, contact Stephanie Villamor at stephanie.espinoza@csn.edu.

Our calendar fills up fast, so we encourage booking your library instruction early. We ask that instruction requests allow for 2 business days for preparation and that considerations be made regarding the timing of the instruction session request within the overall semester, including student familiarity with the assignment and due dates. We look forward to working with every CSN instructor to ensure we are all supporting student success–so please contact Becky Blunk at rebecca.blunk@csn.edu if you have any questions.
