Overview
Librarians at USC offer library instruction to build on the university’s mission to educate students—from freshmen to postdoctoral researchers—by supporting their development as scholars and enhancing their experience as lifelong learners. A key instructional service is course-based library information literacy instruction, in which a librarian provides a customized class in finding, accessing and using course-specific research materials. You can request a library information literacy session for your class using the form below.
The USC Libraries especially encourage faculty and instructors in the Writing Program to request a class. View the Writing 120-140 instruction calendar below, so you can see which days and times are available and which are especially booked. (Click here for the full calendar.)
You can also Request-A-Tour of our libraries. During the tour, attendees will learn about the services provided by USC Libraries, visit departmental/main libraries and the "stacks" as well as learn about virtual library services.
To allow for the customization that optimizes student learning, instructors must request sessions at least 7 working days (Monday-Friday) in advance.
