A research instruction session can provide specialized instruction to help your students:

• Reduce library anxiety
• Understand the research process
• Locate books, articles and reputable web sites
• Use information they find ethically and responsibly
• Utilize NoodleTools, a citation generator and research  management platform
• Prepare for future research needs

To maximize the effectiveness of your research instruction session please prepare for the following:

• Sessions must be requested at least 3 days in advance.
• Assignments must be sent to maryanne.mills@westvalley.edu at least 3 days in advance.
• Instructors must attend the session with the students.
• Due to staffing limitations, we cannot provide general orientations; all sessions must be linked to an assignment. Students must have their topics chosen by the orientation time.
