Every Hampton University student should be able to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information." These skills (Information Literacy) are defined and described at the following website:
ACRL(Association of College &Research Libraries)

Instructional Services at Harvey Library is comprised of these basic services:

  • Curriculum-based instruction

    Graduate or undergraduate level, these instructions are tailored to the needs of the faculty
    member requesting the instruction. These sessions are designed to familiarize the student
    with the resources available in their discipline, or, to assist an entire class with the research
    process on a given topic. Faculty members are encouraged to call 757-727-5379 to
    schedule a session with a librarian in the library classroom. Please plan ahead. The librarians
    require seven day's notice.

  • Research Paper consultation

    These instructions are designed specifically for individuals who would like to work one-on-one
    with a librarian in the Harvey Library on a research topic. These consultations are available on
    an appointment basis only. An informational form is available at the Reference Desk and online
    (url). Please complete this form when requesting an appointment. It will allow the librarian to better
    prepare for your session. You will hear from the librarian as soon as possible (within 24 hours).

Clarification or additional information can be obtained by contacting the Co-ordinator of Library Instruction, Sue Norman, by phone at 757-727-5561, or by e-mail at sue.norman@hamptonu.edu.
