Michele Alaniz / Instruction & Web Services Librarian


Intro
I am available to help with research needs Monday through Friday via phone, email, IM, and in person. I also regularly lead Library Instruction sessions set up by CSM faculty in the Library classroom. In the instruction session, I spend time going over library resources and how to access books, eBooks, library databases, and how to find credible information on the Web.
