Information Literacy Instruction

Librarians routinely present and provide instruction to classes at all levels. Much of our instruction is related to information literacy and the research process. Upon request, a subject liaison librarian will travel to an off-campus site to provide face-to-face classroom instruction. Contents of presentations (i. e. PPT slideshows and handouts) can be posted online via the online library subject guides or via Blackboard - just email library@lmunet.edu.

To schedule an instruction session, contact your subject librarian, the library directly, or fill out the form below:

Research & Course Guides

Research & Course Guides are online web pages created by librarians to gather subject or course-specific resources and help patrons perform various tasks, such as using library resources or doing research. We offer a number of guides in subjects like Allied Health, Arts and Humanities, Business, Education, Information Literacy, Math and Sciences, Nursing, and Social Sciences.

Institutional Repository (IR)

https://digitalcommons.lmunet.edu/

The IR is a platform for advancing knowledge, demonstrating achievements, and building the reputation of the university. The repository stores and provides access to published and unpublished items produced by LMU affiliates. Research articles, working papers, conference papers, presentations, theses and dissertations, and other scholarly works may all be published in the IR.

Benefits of publishing in the IR include:

• Increased impact measurements, including:
  • Number of downloads
  • Locations of downloads
  • Other “altmetrics,” such as from PlumX
• Work is discoverable through web browser searches
• Links to work can be shared through major social media sites
• Notifications about content usage through RSS and email
• A permanent link to content

Questions about the institutional repository, including requests for submissions, should be directed to the IR team at LMUIR@lmunet.edu
