Library instruction at Toronto Metropolitan University Libraries is designed to support student success through teaching essential information literacy skills1. 

There are multiple modes of delivery: 

  • In-library (the library is equipped with teaching classrooms and computer labs)
  • In the classroom
  • Virtual session

Instruction can take the following forms:

Course-Specific Sessions

These tailored, comprehensive sessions focus on equipping students with important skills to help them with their research assignments in a specific course or program. The library sessions are arranged by the faculty member or instructor through their subject librarian. Sessions can take many forms and librarians can work with faculty and instructors to best meet the needs of their students. Instruction is also available on specific cross-disciplinary tools, collections or resources.

Contact your subject librarian to arrange instruction for your class, and use the links below to learn more about instruction on cross-disciplinary spaces.

TMU Libraries Workshops

TMU Libraries workshops are offered in person and online throughout the year. Many of them focus on a phase of research and/or serve as an introduction to a specific resource or service. They are intended for students of all disciplines and do not replace the course-specific sessions described above.

Faculty-Focused Sessions and Appointments

The Library offers sessions for all TMU faculty members who are interested in learning about information resources that support their courses and research. These are available for departments as well as individuals and small groups.

Librarians also work with faculty members in the development of assignments for students that make use of the Library’s resources. 

Please contact your subject librarian for an appointment or to set up a workshop.
