Library Instruction

The Ebling Library supports, facilitates, and fosters information literacy for all of our patrons and promotes self-sufficiency (lifelong learning) in an ever-changing information environment. NOTE: Until further notice, all instruction sessions will be conducted remotely via preferred platform.

What We Can Do for You

Group instruction: For any class or group, library staff will develop and conduct a customized session on a wide variety of topics. Sessions WILL be taught remotely via preferred platform (Blackboard, Webex, or Zoom) by your Library Liaison.

Individual consultation: Need help searching a database or using a citation manager? Having a hard time keeping up to date on specific topics or journals? This and much more can be covered during a one-on-one session with a librarian.

Learn at your own schedule: Take a look at our repository of tutorials. Additional tutorials can be created upon request.

Library tours: Currently, Ebling Library is closed to all patrons. When the library reopens, this service will become available again. Library staff will be available between the hours of 9:00-4:30 pm. Mon-Fri for tours. Stop by the Service Desk or call (608) 262-2020 and make an appointment
