Library Tutorials

The UVSC library provides instruction on general library use, and on the techniques for locating information resources. Library instruction enhances a student's ability to locate appropriate research materials and thereby improve the quality of academic research for term papers.

To assist with developing research skills, the library offers several self-paced tutorials. These tutorials may be used by themselves or in conjunction with a presentation by a librarian in the classroom. If you have questions, please contact Rama Chamberlin at (801) 863- 8423.
