As learning hubs, libraries at post-secondary institutions offer a wide array of services tailored to users’ specific needs.

Library staff can work with you a little or a lot, synchronously or asynchronously, toward a shared goal of learner success.

Services libraries offered include, (but are not limited to):

Information Literacy (Library) Orientations

• Library sessions help learners become confident, capable researchers. These transferable skills facilitate both academic success and lifelong learning
• You can schedule a session when you are most likely to need instruction, resources, and support provided by our specialists
• All sessions are tailored to research needs, and can be one-time or provided over a series of days

Embedded Librarianship

• Embedded Librarians are research specialists integrated into LMS courses to support learners throughout the research process
• Embedding an Information Service Specialist into Canvas courses gives learners another point of contact, which is especially important in a virtual environment
• Librarians facilitate learners’ research and use of library resources during the entire course or when needed to assist with a specific assignment

Inter-library Loans

• With our national network of cooperating libraries, the Buchanan Library’s reach extends far past our doors, offering researchers access to digital materials not held within our catalogue

Literature Reviews

• Information specialists work with faculty and campus researchers to begin or further their research by assisting with literature searches, specific research queries, and access
