The ODU Libraries support student learning at all levels by partnering with faculty to provide assignment-centered library instruction and online learning support. Our librarians are also available to collaborate with faculty to design information literacy assignments and courses. In addition to course-specific support we offer workshops on building research skills, using library resources, and citation management.
Does your class include a research assignment or library-related learning goal? Your librarian will partner with you to customize the session to meet your goals. We can visit your class to provide a face-to-face or online synchronous during your regular class time, or develop asynchronous library instruction for your class. Our classes can take place in our 佩里图书馆 classroom, in your classroom, or online.

- Identify markers of 权威 recognized by disciplines, 职业, and other communities of knowledge and practice
- Evaluate information in a variety of formats to determine its validity, 精度, 权威, 及时性, 相关性, 和偏见

We strive to meet these student learning outcomes in collaboration with our campus partners.
