The Kent Library Information
Services Librarians provide library research instruction, on an appointment
basis, to any University class or group. We can create a customized
research guide for classes and tailor sessions to meet the unique needs
of specific class research assignments or the information needs of a
specific group. Topics covered in these sessions can include library
research strategies, reference materials, the online catalog, electronic
indexes, abstracts & databases, the Web, and more.
Course-related library instruction
is most effective when the course instructor is present and actively
involved, and when the session is grounded in a specific class assignment.
Information Services Librarians are available to work with faculty on
assignment development and help identify topics, approaches, or specific
sources.
Scheduling: To
schedule an instruction session, please contact Claudia Ruediger,
Coordinator of Information Literacy, an individual
Information Services Librarian, or the Reference Desk (573-651-2230) at least
one full week in advance of the date for which you wish to schedule
an instruction session.

Area High Schools
Area high schools are also
invited to take advantage of the Library's instructional program, with
the understanding that University classes and students take priority
over them. High schools wishing to schedule a group into the Library are
asked to contact the Reference Desk at 651-2230 or Claudia Ruediger, Coordinator of
Information Literacy, no later than two full weeks in advance of
the desired date, and to restrict the size of the group to
30 students or less.
