Research
Methodology
The University Library
provides various types of library orientation and research instruction

the library facilitates users' access to many sources of knowledge and
information - in both traditional and electronic formats.
Library representatives
are present during Orientation Week, and also conduct a Library Research
Module as part of the Freshman Seminar course.
Special topical
research methodology sessions and online catalog workshops can be arranged
by faculty request. Members of the faculty who wish to schedule library
instruction should contact Jorge Sosa at least
two weeks in advance of the desired date. For information on tours,
