Why should you encourage your students to visit the Ralph M. Besse Library?

**Today's students live online, and are often over-confident about their ability to do research and find scholarly information. They are also frequently unaware of the abundance of Ursuline Library's resources, including:**
 * Print and electronic reference materials providing topic overviews and suggested readings
 * Indexes and Databases with full-text access to millions of popular, trade, and scholarly articles
 * Electronic books and digital audio-visual materials accessible through the library's online catalog
 * Helpful, friendly librarians = INFORMATION EXPERTS


 * Let us help you help your students! ** The library provides the tools students need to succeed ** ! **


 * Contact your department's Liaison Librarian or Kathy Fisher ** to:
 * Develop a class assignment resource page
 * Schedule a class visit at the library for in-depth and hands-on research skills development
 * Conduct a resource workshop for you and your colleagues

**Important things to know:**
 * Students gain most from library instruction **in context** (that is, when they have an actual research assignment due).
 * //**Your attendance during library sessions is crucial!**// Instructors must be present to validate the importance of library research and to answer specific questions about assignments.
 * Library sessions are **tailored to specific assignments**, so the content is different for each class.
