Small Group Instruction
Small groups of UAF students may schedule a library instruction session by appointment. Small-group instruction is especially beneficial when a group of interested students wants to learn to use a specific information tool (a database, the catalog, a periodical index, google scholar) or wishes to learn about a specific area of the library (Government Documents, Archives, etc.).
To schedule a small group session contact Diane Ruess at (907) 474- 6349 or ffder@uaf.edu.
