Library instruction labs may be requested by faculty or staff and should be requested at least 5 days in advance if a librarian is needed to provide instruction. Upon completing a reservation, you will receive an email indicating if the library is able to accommodate your request.

Please be aware that requesting more than 45 minutes of material will require you to schedule your class for another library visit.

For assistance, contact Ben Wilson at 863-8423.
