EDUC589A (Research for Educators) Library Orientation

Welcome! The EDUC589A library orientation consists of several modules: a series of online multimedia tutorials and several printable handouts. These modules cover much of the material normally taught in face-to-face library instruction sessions, and are designed to familiarize you with graduate-level library research. It should take you approximately 60-90 minutes to review the tutorials.

If you have any questions about these modules, or would like customized assistance with your research, please contact:
