Library Instruction Update

A regular series of presentations covering information literacy issues, open to the entire WSU community

We serve a variety of programs, faculty, and students at different levels of scholarship. Our mission is to teach library users how to access, retrieve, evaluate, use and enjoy information sources in the creation of new knowledge. As academic communities confront the information age, library instruction at Washington State University aims to be responsive to cultural, technological and curricular change in the University, and to the variant skills and comfort levels of the University's library users. In all of these endeavors, librarians model the pursuit of knowledge and impart skills and enthusiasm for learning through excellent teaching. Library faculty collaborate with University faculty and campus partner programs in this mission.
