ASU Library welcomes all Arizona grade 9–12 teachers for tours, workshops and information literacy instruction. Many first-year students report feeling overwhelmed by the number of online resources and the task of conducting research. One way to alleviate this anxiety and improve the transition for your students is to give them an academic library research experience while they're still in high school.
ASU Library instructional services for grades 9–12 are specifically designed to help students transition from high school to academic research environments, aid in the development of important information literacy skills and support students' research projects and needs.
Arizona grade 9–12 teachers interested in a library tour, workshop or information literacy instruction can contact [email protected]
Individual student visits
ASU Library is open to the public, and Arizona high school students are free to use the print and online collections during open hours at most locations. Librarians are available at all ASU Library locations and online to assist students with their research.
Group visits
Teachers working with their classes on special projects or assignments that require library resources may be able to schedule a group visit with their students. After requesting a group library visit, a librarian will be in touch to discuss which services would best support the students and their learning goals.
During visits, librarians can provide an overview of project-specific resources and guide students through brainstorming keywords, searching in library databases, evaluating online information, citing sources and more. These sessions are team-taught and developed collaboratively with the teacher.
