Librarians from the University at Buffalo (UB) Libraries are active participants in building the information literacy competencies of students at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels. UB librarians work with faculty and teaching assistants to introduce research resources, consult on research projects, provide information literacy instruction, and integrate library resources into programs, courses, and curricula.

  • Micro-Credentials

    The Advanced Information Literate badge is designed to build upon a student’s search skills and expertise in the information literacy concepts that underpin scholarship at a Tier 1 Research Institute.

  • Workshops

    The Libraries work with other areas on campus to offer workshops on a variety of subjects relevant to students, faculty, and staff.

  • Classrooms

  • Instruction Requests

    Library instruction sessions are designed to introduce students to information sources and effective strategies for conducting library research related to a specific subject or assignment. These in-class labs offer students the chance to work on their research with assistance from a librarian.

  • Popup Library Instruction

    Don't Cancel Class, Host a Popup Library Session
