Libraries HomeInstruction & Training
The University of Oregon Libraries provide many opportunities for students, faculty and staff to become familiar with the Libraries' spaces and services, improve research skills, learn about technology, and investigate the social, economic, and legal issues surrounding an increasingly complex information environment.
Building Tours
The UO Libraries are comprised of a main library and several smaller, specialized branch libraries. Tours of each of these facilities are available during student orientation periods and to organized groups (UO classes, classes from other colleges and universities, school groups, and community groups) upon request. Tours provide an orientation to physical spaces and services, but typically do not provide instruction in using the library's resources. More >>
Classroom Instruction
Classroom instruction in information research and more is available for all UO courses. Librarians will work with faculty and GTFs to develop instruction specifically tailored to the needs of the learner, whether to meet the overall objectives of the course, or to help learners to accomplish a specific task. Instruction may also be provided to non-UO groups as time and space permit. More >>
Credit Courses
The UO Libraries offer an extensive array of credit courses each year, from a 1-credit "Introduction to Library Research" to independent studies or practicums. More >>
Curriculum Support
Librarians are specialists in one or more subject areas, and can offer support to faculty and GTFs in designing research assignments; integrating information competencies into course objectives; developing web guides, Blackboard tools, and interactive media to support assignments or course content; and other forms of collaboration to support the curriculum.
