Information Literacy Instruction
Information literacy instruction helps students build the critical skills needed to evaluate and select sources for academic research. It strengthens general education outcomes and boosts student learning. See our information literacy standards and outcomes.
Classroom Instruction
Your subject librarian will work with you to design instruction that fits your course, assignment, or learning goals. We can introduce students to library research, as well as our physical and digital spaces and resources.
We can meet your students:
- One-on-one
- In small groups
- In our Biddeford Campus library instruction lab
- In your classroom
- Remotely over Zoom or another platform
We offer one-time sessions or ongoing support throughout the semester. If you are away, we can substitute for your class. We can also attend department meetings or professional development workshops. Â
Instruction Offerings
See our course offerings or customize a session designed for your class.
Online Instruction
Online Research and Teaching Librarian Cadence Atchinson works with online programs through synchronous and asynchronous instruction. She can create custom digital learning objects, and assist in the selection of electronic course materials, including quality open educational resources.
Special Collections
Education and Outreach Archivist Cathleen Miller can introduce your students to research using primary sources from UNE’s special collections and archives, as well as from other primary source repositories.
Guides & Tutorials
We create tools to help students develop research skills and succeed in their coursework.
Our resources include:
- Research Skills pages to guide the research process, from finding and evaluating sources to citing and sharing work.
- Research by Subject to suggest databases and other research tools for each subject area, which can be embedded in Brightspace.
- Video tutorials, course guides, and class-specific playlists tailored to your students.
