There are different types of sessions that could be delivered by the subject librarians according to your needs as follows:
These are course-integrated sessions based on specific assignments that require students to do information research to help them using the Library resources and services efficiently in the context of their academic discipline. Our Subject Librarians coordinate with the instructors to design and develop sessions that meet with the outcomes of these courses and also develop course specific guides that will introduce students to information resources relevant to their specific assignments.
The Library’s online guides are listed in the Subject Guides tab located on the Library website. Instructors can also embed subject and course guides into their e-learning course pages to give students direct access to Library resources.
The Library conducts or hosts sessions for academics and students who wish to be introduced to specific online resources and research databases (e.g. Medline, ScienceDirect, One Petro… etc.)
