Harvey Library’s library instruction program provides hands–on training to students and campus faculty in the use of library resources. Librarians work with HU faculty to provide customized library instruction for courses. Goals include helping students learn to find information through Harvey Library and the web, as well as helping them learn to evaluate and effectively use the information they find.

Assignment based library instruction sessions are tailored to the needs of the faculty member requesting the instruction.

Find information for requesting library instructional services for your class in the Library Instructional Services page.

Research Consultation

Harvey Library offers one-on-one consultations to support student research needs, and works with individuals who require the assistance of a librarian on a specific research topic/paper.

All the librarians are trained and available to assist students in finding research materials from all types of sources, both printed and electronic for term papers, group projects, theses etc.

The librarians can assist students, both at the undergraduate or graduate level, to formulate a search strategy and to find appropriate research materials. They can help design a search strategy; pick the best avenues to find sources; choose the best terminology and help students evaluate the results of searches.

Librarians can be contacted through phone, email or in person and a listing of phone numbers and email links can be found on the Library’s home page, under the Librarian Liaison List.

Placing Items on Reserve

Faculty can place materials on reserve at the Circulation Desk by following these guidelines:

Note: Academic Reserves are held for 1 semester unless extended by the instructor. They are returned to the instructor by campus mail if the Circulation staff does not recieve notification of an extension.
