  • Online through Blackboard Ultra.
• The library classroom is to be scheduled for Library Instruction Classes or Research Study Sessions only.
• These offerings must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
• You will receive an email confirming your date(s) and time(s) have been scheduled.

Your class is not scheduled until you receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email you are not scheduled for instruction! If you think you scheduled a class and did not receive an email, email librarians@triton.edu.

• There are three Library Instruction types:
  • Library Instruction Class: Introduction to Information Literacy
  • Additional Library Instruction or Information Literacy Class (follow-up): This is a follow-up appointment to discuss research and information literacy topics in more depth.
  • Research Study Session*: Classes without library instruction can use the library classroom as a research lab. A librarian will be on hand to help with research and answer questions.

The class room has seats for 20 students and there is a laptop cart  available for students to check out laptops for the class period only. 

If you have any questions please reach out here or call the reference desk at x3361.
