The duPont-Ball Library provides the following services to advance information literacy learning and to support students who are completing research assignments in your classes. Use the links below to request a session. Library instruction sessions are tailored to your assignment. Topics may include finding and evaluating sources, developing research strategies, using databases, and formatting citations. Please schedule at least one week in advance.

Faculty Assignment ConsultationsWe'll help you make sure that your assignment takes advantage of the information resources your students have access to. We can also help you determine which resources are most useful for your assignments and prepare to instruct students in using them yourself.
Something ElseOur goal is to work with you to make sure students have the information literacy knowledge and skills they need to succeed during and after their time at Stetson. If you have an idea of some other way we can help you do that, let us know!
