For Faculty

The numbers are in: class visits from librarians make a difference. We asked students and, after a librarian's presentation, over 90 per cent of students at Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber said they were more aware of library resources and learned something new to help them succeed in their classes. 

Take advantage of our in-class workshops (both online and in person) and asynchronous resources to boost your students’ research and digital fluency skills.

• Browse workshop sessions by skill, learner level and delivery mode.
• Share our introductory Library Research Tutorial with your students.

Contact your librarian with any questions about scheduling a visit.

All tutorials are AODA compliant and easy to share via Blackboard and Courselink.
