Types of Library Instruction – COVID-19 Edition

The library is committed to the safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty, and staff. To that end, Rice Library will only offer online instruction and research consultation services. This library instruction uses a mix of synchronous and asynchronous methods to teach students the research and information skills they need to be successful at USI and beyond. When you request library instruction, you and the librarian will plan a strategy for your course.

We look forward to working with you and your students.
