Library Instruction

Faculty are encouraged to contact us to integrate library instruction into their courses. At any point in the semester, you can schedule one of our librarians to provide hands-on, active learning sessions for your students.

General Instruction

Our lessons are tailored to your specific subject and class. Use the general instruction form below to schedule your instruction session, and your Subject Librarian will be happy to consult with you. This includes instruction with Archives and Special Collections.

First-Year Writing Instruction

Composition II instructors schedule one week of library instruction. During these sessions we typically introduce students to information literacy concepts, web searching, library catalog searching, and two to four library databases, depending on the class assignment. Use the Comp II instruction form below to schedule your sections.

Tours

Library tours are ideal for students new to UNO and anyone interested in learning more about the Library. All tours begin at the Main Service Desk, located on the second floor. Tours are available by appointment and must be booked at least one week in advance. Please fill out the request form below to book your tour.

High School Instruction

High school students and faculty have access to library resources and instruction through either the High School Program or Dual-Enrollment. High school librarians, media specialists, or classroom teachers may make an appointment with one of our librarians for instruction on how to instruct students.

If preferred, we can provide instruction directly to the students during a scheduled visit. Please schedule visits as far in advance as possible and preferably during times when UNO classes are not in session or during less busy times of the academic year.

Avoid scheduling during the last two weeks of each semester due to UNO students' need for resources for preparation of projects and final exams. Groups of 15 students or less are recommended. To schedule instruction for your class, contact Karen Jabens.
