Information for Hostos faculty: Home

Please see our guides on:

• Open Educational Resources (OERs) 

• Film and audio-visual services

• Research workshops for your class 

• Support for faculty research 

Hostos librarians can support your students build their research skills in a number of ways:

• Working with you to create in-class workshops tailored to your research assignment and learning goals;
• Offering individual guidance to students and answers to their research questions at the reference desk on the lower level of the library;
• Collaborating with you to create course-specific research guides;
• Working with you to hone research assignments aligned with the resources available to Hostos students;

And we are always open to speaking with you to discuss other possibilities for collaboration.

You can find the librarian liaison to your department here.
