For Faculty

The Teaching, Learning, and Research Support (TLRS) librarians engage in Information Literacy Instruction in multiple modalities in order to encourage and inspire lifelong learning.

Philosophy Statement

The Occidental Library Information Literacy Program is committed to empowering Oxy students, faculty, and staff to engage critically with information and challenging them to consider their role as information consumers and creators.  TLRS librarians provide education to help them effectively locate, interrogate, apply, and ethically use information in their academic, professional, and personal lives to further the advancement of knowledge for our global community.

We provide:

Information Literacy Instruction
  • Tailored library instruction to the course assignment
  • Asynchronous research and database tutorials
  • Assignment and course design to embed information literacy
Research Help
  • One-on-one research consultations
  • Chat with a librarian (no appointment needed)
  • Curated research guides by subject
  • Group consultations available
Academic Technology Support
  • Align digital technologies with pedagogical and scholarly needs
  • Use ArcGIS Storymaps, Qualtrics, and Dedoose to advance pedagogy and research objectives
