Library Instruction
Carmichael Library is committed to the goal of
increasing the information literacy of the
students attending the University. Information
Literacy is the foundation for lifelong
learning, and it extends across the curriculum
to touch every discipline.
Library faculty
efforts are directed toward teaching the
Montevallo community how to approach the wide
array of resources available to them; teaching
both information concepts and use of specific
resources.

Help from Librarians
Librarians assist faculty to broaden their
curriculum resources beyond the standard
textbook. Librarians can provide research
assistance to faculty as they develop their
courses and create their reading and reserve
lists.
-
Librarians are available to meet with faculty to discuss their courses and library involvement.
-
Librarians are available to read copies of course syllabi and offer ideas.
-
Librarians identify Internet resources for faculty and create World Wide Web (WWW) pages with links to important Web sites
For example, librarians have created Research Guides on the web for discipline based research -
Librarians can also provide faculty with student handouts on the web for specific classes, handouts on copyright, subject bibliographies, citation style, and the research process.
