Teaching and Learning Support

 MSMU librarians offer a variety of options for integrating information literacy into your course and support student learning by:

  • Teaching information literacy skills specific to a discipline, class subject, or research assignment
  • Creating assignments that introduce and develop information literacy concepts and skills
  • Leading workshops that develop information literacy core competencies and help students learn to recognize when information is needed, and how to locate, evaluate, and effectively use the needed information
  • Creating online research guides tailored to specific disciplines or research needs (these guides can be mapped to your courses in Canvas)

Email us at library@msmu.edu to get started!

Research and Reference Assistance

Encourage your students to make research appointments with the librarians.
Or make one for yourself!

Faculty, staff, and students can make appointments with librarians to receive assistance with research papers, assignments, navigating databases, choosing and narrowing research topics, reviewing search strategies, and more.
