2. We’re here to teach the art
of critical thinking and
research, customized for
your assignments. We are
available for a short li-
brary introduction or mul-
tiple sessions focusing on
specific research needs
with you and your stu-
dents.
We create subject and
course guides to help your
students become research
experts. http://
libguides.pima.edu.
and instruc-
tion.
Do you find students are lost when it comes to research? Is Google the only research
tool they use? Let us work with your classes to teach them information literacy— the
skills of finding, accessing, evaluating, creating, and responsibly using information.
Research guides are used to link li-
brary information and resources with
specific courses or assignments. The
librarians will work with you to design
an easily accessible guide that will pro-
vide a single access point for students
when conducting research for assign-
ments in your course.
Browse the many guides we have
created: http://libguides.pima.edu/.

“Our librarians created an instructional webpage for each
of my classes on how to do research. In addition, they
came to class and presented to students on How-To-do-
Website Evaluations and How To utilize LibGuides
(Library online resources page). In result, I noticed more
collaborations and sharing of knowledge in class.”
