Library Instruction
In-Person and Online
Instructors can book library instruction classes for their students, led by an academic librarian.
- Classes on the Montclair campus take place at Sprague Library in room #203 or #110, in your classroom, or over Zoom.
- Classes on the Bloomfield campus take place at Bloomfield College Library in room L08, L06, 209, or 212, in your classroom, or over Zoom.
Each session is designed around the course and course assignments. Library classes cover topics such as:
- General introduction to research
- Subject-specific research (e.g. education, biology, business, law)
- Specialized upper-level undergraduate and graduate level research
- Citation searching (e.g., Web of Science, Google Scholar)
- Citation management (e.g., EndNote, Zotero)
Instructors are required to be present and participate in these sessions.
