Information literacy and research skills are embedded in many courses on campus. The Library has sifted through many videos and handouts (and made some of our own) to curate a collection that will help you teach these concepts and skills on to your students. If you don't see a topic you want, ask us! If you know of a video you think would add to the collection (maybe even made by you?), let us know and we will add it to the list!

All videos include captioning. If you go searching YouTube for existing videos on your own, remember that you can limit your results to captioned videos.
