We offer a variety of instructional and course-related services designed to help IUP faculty and IUP students.
For Students
If you have questions about library research or need help finding materials to succeed in your coursework, we offer reference and research support to faculty and students through our on-call, email, and chat reference services and the library Information Desk.
You can can also access tutorials, tips, and guides to research at our Library Instruction for Students research guide.
For Faculty
For faculty members, we offer a range of course-related support. From in-person presentations to your classes on general library research practices and subject-specific information literacy to helping you set up e-reserves, create reading lists, and integrate library resources into your D2L courses, we will work with you to meet your specific needs.
If you’re a faculty member interested in library support services for your classes, visit Course-Related Library Services to learn how the library can help you.
Information Literacy Instruction at the IUP Libraries
When you request a library instruction session from an IUP librarian, we will structure our presentation around one or more elements, or "frames," of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. We can connect our instruction, the framework, and your course content into a tailored instruction approach to help your students.
Learn more about the framework and how IUP librarians connect the framework to their instruction.
