Have a research assignment for your course and want support from the library?
We are currently working to expand asynchronous instructional resources and also are piloting some new virtual instruction options including virtual office hours and virtual instruction sessions.
For more information about these and other options to support ENG1101, ENG1121, and COM1330 students, contact Anne Leonard, coordinator of Library Instruction. For discipline-specific options, contact the subject specialist for your department. We want to hear from you to make sure that you have the tools you need.
