Teaching

CBU Library supports teaching in the classroom, library, and online.

CBU Library offers several services to support your teaching:

Research and reference services: Liaison librarians are available to provide research assistance in-person at the Research Assistance Desk, via phone, email, or Novanet chat. 

Subject guides/course guides: Library guides (LibGuides) are subject-specific resources to assist your information search. Liaison librarians can also collaborate with you to create course guides which you can link directly to your course Moodle. Course guides help your students find resources needed for their course assignments. Also, visit the Teaching & Learning  LibGuide  for more resources to support your teaching in the classroom and online. 

Library tours: Library tours are offered year-round to help students navigate the library space, collections, services, and resources.  To book a tour please contact your liaison librarian.
