We look forward to working with you this semester. Below you’ll find information on teaching and learning services, upcoming events, and new resources. Our team is ready to collaborate, engage your students with data or primary resources, and help them develop critical information literacy and research skills. Please get in touch, and don’t hesitate to let us know how we’re doing.

Teaching and Learning Support

Teaching and Learning Support includes many options for helping your students navigate the information universe, engage with media , and develop research skills, whether in your classroom, in the library, or online. Get in touch with a librarian with questions or ideas on how to collaborate with your students. Core course support resources include:

Research tutorials address common research challenges: developing a topic, understanding scholarly and non-scholarly sources, finding peer-reviewed articles, etc. Tutorials are accessible as streaming media, in text/slide format, and as info-graphic handouts for easy integration into Blackboard or other platforms.

Research Subject Guides help students save time, find information, and connect with experts. Guides provide top databases for a subject/discipline and online appointment scheduling. Get in touch with a librarian with questions or suggestions about research subject guides in your area.

Ask-A-Librarian services include drop-in help, consultations by appointment, and 24/7 chat where students can connect with library expertise no matter the date or time of day.

Events and Workshops

Check out the Library's calendar of events and workshops coming up this semester, including workshops on research data management, data visualization, citation tools, talks by Northeastern faculty, Digital Humanities Open Office Hours, and the Neighborhood Matters series.
