Library Instruction Sessions
Library instruction offers students information on resources and services available from Cornette Library. Sessions are keyed to a particular library assignment so students learn how to use appropriate print and electronic sources to find books, periodical articles, government documents, and reliable websites. Evaluation and citation of sources are also covered.
To schedule a session, please contact Pippin Macdonald at (806) 651-2214 or pmacdonald@wtamu.edu.
