• I am available for library instruction sessions (in-person or virtual) which can be customized to the needs of the students and assignments. This might include a general introduction to library resources or a more specific focus on library databases and tools.
  • There is an electronic classroom in the library that has 24 seats available, or I can come to your classroom.
  • A course specific research guide will be created to accompany the instruction. Examples of these guides can be found at this link. 
  • Please contact me to arrange for instruction and/or a research guide for your courses.
• Phantom Citations (AI/ChatpGPT): The libraries have seen an increase in the number of questions regarding articles/citations for material that does not actually exist. The citations are usually in the correct format and rather convincing, with legitimate authors who write on the topic and peer-reviewed journals, but they appear to be AI created and do not exist. 
• Explore a growing list of publishers whose journals offer reduced Article Processing Charges (APCs) for Open Access articles. 
• Check out our new and trial databases.
  • The list of new databases updates as the resources are acquired.
  • We often have trials of databases and seek feedback on them for consideration, so please take a look and let us know what you think.
• The library offers a number of workshops on a variety of topics including citation managers, databases, resources, data, privacy, local information and others.
  • I run workshops on Evaluating News Sources, Digital Privacy and Policy Map (database). 
  • If you would like to see a workshop on a specific topic please let me know.  
  • For more information check out all of our Library Events and Workshops
• The library provides assistance and support for Readings Lists and Reserves
• Please consider applying for our Open and Affordable Textbooks Program
• There are several Library Tutorials that can be integrated into your course management software.
