Library Instruction

Librarians teach classes on a range of research skills. Classes taught in the general education program are designed to complement each other across the program. Other classes will be planned to meet specific course objectives. Faculty members are encouraged to request instructional sessions. Requests must be made at least two weeks in advance and sessions are scheduled on a "first-come-first-served" basis.

For planning and consultation, contact Gretchen Wright, 410-455-6971.
To schedule a class or tour, contact Maureen McLaughlin, 410-455-4168, or print and complete the Library Instruction Request Form and send it to Maureen at the Library, F 303-A.
