Program Mission
The Library Instruction Program supports BMCC’s mission to empower students by offering classes that enhance classroom curriculum and foster confidence in independent research and learning.
How to Request a Session in the Library
Information for Faculty
Depending on what you need for your course, library faculty can deliver synchronous and asynchronous content. We are committed to working with faculty and students to make the most of our new learning environment.
For Spring 2021 we are offering in-person instruction on a case-by-case basis. Requests for in-person sessions are subject to Library instructor and computer lab availability.
- You’ll receive a confirmation email after your request has been approved. A librarian will also get in touch with you a few days before your scheduled instruction date.
- Classes need to be scheduled two weeks in advance. Any requests received on a shorter notice will be scheduled according to instructor availability.
- You must attend library instruction classes with your students.
- Requests for instruction outside of the library’s regular hours will depend on instructor availability. Faculty should contact Prof. Robin Brown (rbrown@bmcc.cuny.edu) directly.
