Extended due dates
For YC Library owned materials, you can request the due date be extended to the end of the semester.
Library instruction
For many students, this is their first time inside a library and/or writing a research paper.
Put a friendly face to the library and introduce your students to the library's resources.
Librarians will teach your students how to search databases, choose a topic, and where to go for research help.
