About Library Instruction

The Instructional Services program teaches library and information seeking skills to all Notre Dame students and employees. Undergraduate learning objectives focus on enabling students to succeed at library research. Contact Cheri Smith at csmith@nd.edu or (574) 631-4271 for information on topics that can be covered in library instruction sessions.

Schedule a Library Instruction Session for your class or group by completing the Instruction Request Form. Instruction sessions should be scheduled at least one week in advance to allow sufficient time for dialogue between faculty and librarians.

The Hesburgh Library instructional facilities are equipped with wireless laptops for hands-on sessions. Library instruction classes can also be offered in your classroom or in other locations in Hesburgh, such as Special Collections or the Medieval Institute Library.
Many classes are taught by members of the Information, Research, and Instructional Services Department. Advanced and/or in-depth subject classes are taught by subject specialists.
Tours and Workshops are also available to all Notre Dame employees and students throughout the school year. Library building tours are usually offered at the beginning of each school year, and our Virtual Tour is available year round! statue of Fr Hesburgh and Fr Joyce Information for Visitors
Tours and library instruction sessions for non-Notre Dame affiliated groups can be arranged by contacting Felicia Smith at fsmith3@nd.edu or (574) 631-2767. Due to demands on our instructional facilities, hands-on sessions for visitors are only available when Notre Dame classes are out of session.
