CCNY Librarians teach a variety of types of instruction sessions. All library classes tailored to meet the needs of your students in support of their research assignment. Library classes are held in computer labs and include hands-on and interactive time so that students will have time to practice what is taught in class with feedback from librarian.
Library instruction classes can be requested by filling out the Information Literacy Request Form. Find out more about the information literacy program below.
The CCNY libraries information literacy program serves students, faculty, and staff by supporting the instructional mission of the Library, the College, and the University. Our mission is to teach students to think critically about information for their academic, professional, and personal lives.

Information literacy encompasses a range of skills including recognizing when information is needed, phrasing questions to locate sources, evaluating what is found, and using it ethically and effectively.
