Librarians are eager to work with you to help improve student research. Library instruction sessions are custom-designed for individual classes and assignments, and librarians can also help you create assignments that teach relevant research skills. See examples of research guides that librarians have made here (and here).

We have developed a document that is designed to:

1. Define research skills in concrete terms to faculty and students
2. Provide learning objectives for individual assignments
3. Assist individual departments develop discipline specific research competencies
4. Provide research Competency goals for the first year core
5. Strengthen collaboration between faculty and librarians.

Students can also arrange research consultations- a personalized session with a reference librarian. Feel free to send your students our way!
