Towson University Libraries' Instruction Program supports and strengthens the learning, teaching, and scholarship of the Towson University community. With an emphasis on the University Core Curriculum and discipline-specific curricula, librarians collaborate with faculty to integrate information literacy into student learning experiences. The Libraries' Instruction Program contributes to academic inquiry and research skills, critical thinking, reading, writing, and knowledge creation.
By the numbers
Last year, librarians taught over 12,000 students as part of 600+ instruction sessions.
Every discipline or academic program on campus has a subject librarian who can provide course-integrated information literacy instruction. Subject librarians prepare sessions to align with course content, assignments, and programmatic or discipline-specific information literacy goals.
