Cornell University Library Instruction Mission Statement
The library's instruction mission is to enhance learning and integrate information competency into the curriculum. Library staff partner with faculty and other instructors to help all members of the academic community to find their way into collections, and to master research techniques and methods. In a rapidly changing information and education environment, we help them learn the skills needed to find, read, evaluate, and use complex resources from the Cornell University Library and beyond, in a confident, efficient, and ethical fashion.

Current Issues in Instruction
A regular discussion group.
Topic and readings for each date will be announced in advance and the discussion will focus on that particular reading topic. While we have a short list of possibilities, we welcome suggestions for readings that address current issues (articles, reports, book chapters, blog postings, e-mail discussion threads, anything really) and topics pertaining to instruction, instructional technology and student learning both at CUL and elsewhere. Send your suggestions to the Instruction Committee listserv at psec-instruction-l@list.cornell.edu.
