In-class & Research Assignment Support

In-class instruction/library tours
Subject librarians can attend classes (in person or virtual) to provide library research instruction with presentations tailored to specific course content. Librarians can also conduct library tours to help students locate information on specific topics. Submit a Library Instruction Request form or contact the appropriate subject librarian directly to request in-class instruction and/or a tour.

Library research assignments
Subject librarians can assist academic staff in designing library research assignments that make the best use of information resources. Consider contacting a subject librarian as assignments are prepared. Contact the appropriate subject librarian directly to discuss assignment design.

Learning Modules in Moodle
Students can self-enrol to complete asynchronous learning modules covering the topic Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism. Upon successful completion (80% or greater) the module grants a certificate allowing instructors to confirm completion if required. 

Bookable Research Appointment

Bookable research consultations (in person or virtual) can be made by faculty or students with the subject librarian of their choice.

Online Research Support

The Ask Us suite of services provides support via email, instant message, telephone, and text message.

Online help guides provide a variety of subject specific and topical guides for researchers.

Instructional videos created by our Library team covering a variety of topics are available via the Library's YouTube channel.

Immediate In-person Support (Library Services Desk)

The Library Services Desk provides informal drop-in instruction that will enable patrons to become more independent in library environments. When appropriate, referrals will be provided to subject specialist librarians.

Orientation Tours

Individuals or groups can request a general library tour by completing the General Library Tour Request form.

The Library Virtual Tour is available for individuals that cannot attend a physical tour.
