Do your students know how to use the Madonna University Library?  Are they familiar with MAC, the online catalog?  Are they aware of the online databases available to help them research in your discipline?  Do they have the necessary research skills to know where – and how – to begin looking for the information they will need to complete the projects you have assigned them?

            The Library’s home page at ww3.madonna.edu/library , offers a whole world of information to students and faculty with the skills and training to use it effectively.  Madonna University Library faculty can help your students acquire the skills necessary to effectively use online resources.  To take advantage of the Madonna librarians’ expertise and knowledge,  you can schedule a research education session for your class.

            To schedule such a session for your students, contact your library liaison or fill out a Request for Research Education form at the Reference Desk or online on the Library’s home page.  Listed below are the names of the Madonna University librarians and their college liaison appointments.  Contact numbers and E-mail addresses are provided.  The librarians will work with you to design a research education session that is geared to your course syllabus and which will help your students get the most from their library research.

            Many of the faculty like to schedule research education sessions early in the term.  So it is recommended that you make your requests as soon as possible in order to obtain your scheduling preferences.  If you have any questions about the scheduling process, please contact one of the librarians for further information.

            The Madonna University Library faculty look forward to working with you and helping your students to achieve their highest potential.
