The Instructional Services Program

"Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information," (ACRL). 

This ability lies at the heart of student success and touches upon many other areas within any university. We invite you to explore this site and urge faculty members schedule instruction for their classes.

Assessment

Assessment is a big part of any instruction conducted by USM Libraries. After all, we want to continually improve the efffectiveness of the instruction we provide. We ask all students to take this quick survey following every instructional session provided by the library. Thank you.

Other Services

While most of our instructional services are geared to serve the needs of USM students and faculty, USM Libraries welcome any opportunity to work with area high schools, Upward Bound and various groups to provide tours and more on an as-needed basis.

Library tours or specialized instruction may be scheduled 2 weeks in advance at bgrubb@usm.maine.edu or 1-207-780-4672.

Tours include all seven floors of Glickman Library on the Portland campus, including a brief glimpse of Osher Map Library and Special Collections depended on staff availability. Groups will be advised on Circulation policies, photocopying, community and USM user computer use and printing, collection locations and how to find books by call number. The average length of tours is 30 minutes.
