Courses, Internships, & Tutorials: Home

The online Library Research Skills Tutorial is a self-enroll course that provides students with an introduction to the college library’s services and basic research strategies. These strategies include searching the Academic Search Complete Database, locating materials in GLOCAT (the library’s catalog), requesting materials via IDS, and citing sources. This tutorial is designed to supplement the INTD 105 library instruction program, but will benefit any student who needs to brush up on the library tools available to them.

Research Instruction 

The research instruction internship are aimed at students considering going into the career of librarianship. They are an opportunity to learn the culture, general skills, and realities of the profession. Interns complete a course that is a mixture of theory (readings from scholarly articles, professional literature) about library work, and practice (putting those theories to work by using actual library software and doing real-world projects that impact the library and other students.) There are typically two slots open per semester, and interested students can apply using the university's Handshake system. 

Imaginarium & TERC

The Imaginarium & TERC internship is an opportunity for students enrolled in SUNY Geneseo's School of Education programs to further develop their teaching skills and gain a basic understanding of school librarianship. Interns are responsible for managing two library spaces/collections specific to the field of education, creating lesson plans and instructional materials, assisting their peers, and learning basic library skills, such as reference and collection development as it relates to school libraries. Note: This internship is offered as needed. When it is available, students should apply on Handshake.
