Library instruction at Old Westbury endeavors to provide students with the research and information literacy skills required to successfully navigate course assignments. Library instruction is designed to cultivate effective information-seeking behaviors in students through quality in-person and virtual instructional opportunities, preparing students to efficiently and critically locate, evaluate, and utilize information to achieve academic success and become graduate-ready, life-long learners.

After the lecture, students can perform their own searches at computer stations while the librarian is in the room to answer questions.
Online Synchronous: an instruction librarian will meet you in Zoom for an interactive instruction session. Students will learn about discipline-specific research skills using library resources. Instruction is tailored to the specific class theme and research assignment. Students should feel empowered to ask the librarian questions based on their research project.
