Library Instruction provides classes and instructional material to any class on the campus on the materials and resources available to researchers at Augusta State University. These classes can be tailored to meet the research needs of pretty much any study area, as our librarians have a diverse background. For very specialised research needs it is advisable for the professor to coordinate with the librarian teaching the class enough ahead of time to allow for an optimal learning outcome for the students. Additionally, the Instruction Coordinator teaches an Introduction to Information Literacy course each semester.
