**Consultation:
Librarians are available to work with you as you revise or create library-related
assignments. Faculty/Librarian collaboration helps ensure that necessary
sources are available and that the best sources for the project are integrated
into an assignment. This work also alleviates student confusion with the
constantly changing information environment. We may also recommend placing
materials on Reserve and scheduling an Information Instruction Session
targeted to the requirements of the assignment. Contact Corinne Ebbs (cebbs@wsc.ma.edu)
to set up an appointment. For consultations, contact Corinne Ebbs (cebbs@wsc.ma.edu
x5464), Oliver Zeff (ozeff@wsc.ma.edu
x5640), Teri Shiel (tshiel@wsc.ma.edu
x5483), or Brian Hubbard (bhubbard@wsc.ma.edu
x5482). The Instruction Librarians can also be reached through the
Reference Desk at 572-5234.
