Faculty Services: Library Instruction
Library Instruction
The library offers in-person and virtual instruction sessions. Examples of topics we address include:
- developing a research topic or question
- searching with library databases and other quality resources
- evaluating web sources
- responding to and fact-checking news sites and disinformation (aka "fake news")
- working with and discovering primary resources
- reading and analyzing academic articles
- critical appraisal of medical and scientific research
- personal data and internet privacy
We ask that you schedule these instruction sessions as early in the semester as possible. Contact us at library@corning-cc.edu with questions about how the library can offer sessions created or modified to support your classes!
