Library Instruction & Tours

Library Instruction

The Instruction Program of the ULM Library seeks to develop the information and computer literacy skills of students, faculty and staff at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, teaching users to independently seek, locate, retrieve, evaluate and use information effectively and ethically.

The Instruction Program is developed in response to identified learning needs and through collaboration with teaching faculty and staff. The Program provides individual and group instruction, course-specific, web-based and open workshop methods.

The Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education from the Association of College and Research Libraries provide the framework for program development and objectives. The Instruction Program supports the mission of the University Library, and the Louisiana Board of Regents Statewide General Education Requirements.

Your subject librarian, or liaison, has expertise in the resources of your discipline and is able to tailor instruction to fit course needs. You can ask any question you might have about the ULM Library, research, and instruction to your liaison. See the list below for liaisons and contact information. Please contact your librarian at least a week ahead of time to allow for preparation.
