Information Literacy and COM Library
One of the missions of COM Library is to help our students become information literate. We do this through our LibGuides, library instruction classes and helping students one on one with their research. Most of our LibGuides have information literacy built in. Faculty can check out the Library Instruction page to see what kinds of library instruction we offer and schedule for their classes.
