Standish Library's Instruction Program expands information literacy skills required to navigate our complex information environment, empowering students to engage critically as both consumers and creators of information. In collaboration with teaching faculty across campus, librarians develop hands-on classes and asynchronous learning objects to promote Siena's culture of lifelong learners who will build a more just, peaceful and humane world.
Standish Library offers workshops on many information literacy topics, including those detailed in the Menu below. We work with faculty to tailor these sessions to specific class, and are more than happy to create customized classes or digital content that aren't on this menu with advance notice. Please contact Freya Gibbon (fgibbon@siena.edu) with questions or to schedule library instruction, please fill out the Instruction Request form.
Reach out at any time during your planning process, but please note that it takes time to develop a new class. Please give us at least two weeks lead time on new instruction requests. Librarians can assist with creating assignments and assessments or share digital resources to embed on your Canvas page. Librarians can also design and lead pop-in workshops to help your students accomplish parts of a research project. We can support:
See the Instruction Menu for examples of workshops we can lead, or browse Credo Info Lit Core for access to our database of instructional modules. When you're ready to schedule instruction, please use the Instruction Request Form.
