From introducing students to library resources, supports, and services to developing students’ research skills, Humber Libraries can support your classes:  

1. Introducing our virtual, self-guided library tour: Featuring videos and short activities, students will explore the library website, learn about library supports and services, search Discover, and more in this basic, self-guided and interactive library tour. Integrate this into a first-year class as a helpful addition to your course learning materials. Contact your librarian to embed this library tour into your Blackboard course site.  

2. Ready Set Research! The library is hosting three virtual interactive library orientations in January. Share these workshops with your students as a primer for library research:
