Library Instruction

Hunter College’s Instruction Librarians provide students with strategies to think critically about information: its credibility, its forms, its functions, and the tools we use to discover it. While courses are primarily remote, we are offering both sychronous and asynchronous lessons; we will work with course instructors to find the best match for your students' needs.


For Students
Library Research course (LIBR 100)
A one-credit course for students interested in developing their research skills for upper level coursework, graduate studies, and supporting an engaged citizenry.

Research Toolkit
Worksheets and tools that provide self-service help at all stages of the research process.

One on One Research Consultations
These are like office hours with a librarian. We recommend this for students who are feeling “stuck” or want to delve deeper into the research process.

For Faculty
