Schedule an instruction session with us
Like you, we are committed to course-integrated, outcomes-based instruction, and assessment of student learning.  We can help your students become more information literate.  Instruction sessions can address:
  • appropriate use of resources for assignments
  • citation standards and plagiarism issues
  • effective search strategies in periodical databases or the catalog
  • better understanding of research assignments

Here's how

  • Call x3232, email refhelp@highline.edu, or visit us at the reference desk. 
  • Check to see what times are available through our class schedule .
  • Classes may be held in your classroom or at the Information Commons in the library.

Best practices

  • Advance notice and detailed information about your assignments and goals for the session helps us to provide the best possible instruction..
  • Instructional outcomes are often best achieved through a short series of information literacy sessions.  There are, however, other options for achieving more intensive integration.  We offer a one-credit research course (LIBR 105) which can be linked to any subject specific course.
