Library Instruction

The PAU Librarians are available for all your information needs, including instructional sessions. Library instruction is intended to help students, faculty, and staff by providing opportunities to discover resources, learn how to navigate online tools and platforms, utilize research methods, and more.

Learning how to access, effectively use, and evaluate diverse resources are essential throughout the research process, and your librarians are here to help teach them!

Types of Instruction

Generally, library instruction can be delivered in these three key ways:

Reference

Need help finding articles or measures? Not sure how to properly cite a source? Questioning a journal's quality or where to publish?

Have no fear, your Reference Librarians are here! Each of the PAU Librarians is a trained professional dedicated to helping you meet all your reference needs.

What is Reference Service?

In the library world, reference service refers to the broad range of information needs and questions that library users have, leading them to seek help from librarians.
