Our librarians can tailor sessions specifically to your course, teaching students the best methods for finding, evaluating, and using information. From guiding them through key resources to mastering research strategies, exploring artists' books and/or zines, we’ve got you covered. The Pratt Institute Archives also provides instruction about the history, collections, and use of the archives.
Collaborate with a librarian to equip your students with essential information literacy and research skills, empowering them to confidently navigate Pratt Libraries' print and digital resources. Together, we’ll craft a customized session that directly supports your course content and assignments, guided by select learning objectives, ensuring their success.
The Pratt Institute Archives offers instruction to introduce students to the Library’s unique collections and primary sources. They'll gain hands-on experience with archival research, learn to analyze documents, and explore the value of archives in academic inquiry.
We have a wide range of instructional materials that you can assign to your students without needing to dedicate synchronous class time to library instruction. You may copy links to the video tutorials and quizzes below and add them to your Canvas LMS as assignments or external links. To browse a full list, see our Library Tutorials.
