Library instruction refers to library staff teaching a class of students how to find information sources on a topic. This can occur in a classroom/lab in the library, in the students' classroom, in the public service area of the library, in a cooperative library, in a classroom/lab at a site, by video/audio/print materials, or via the library's web site.

Library instruction at Chattanooga State is assignment-related; it is not a general orientation to library services.  Details can be found in the Assignment-Related Instruction Policy.
