What Trexler Can Do for Students


Are you frustrated by the inappropriate types of resources that your students include in their written and oral projects for your classes? Are you short on class time to help students learn to do better research?

Trexler Librarians can help your students become better and more confident researchers. We can help them find and use more scholarly resources, and we can save them time in the process.

We offer one-on-one research help by appointment to students as they begin looking for material for their papers and projects. We can do this via email, phone or in person in the library. Some instructors are offering extra credit or extra points to students who seek this research assistance.

Participating librarians enjoy working with your students in this more personal way. We have forms that students complete when they make their appointments, and we have included a line for librarians to sign and validate the student’s participation. We can send you these forms if you want to offer extra points or credit.

Our hope with this service is that students will have a positive experience working with librarians early in their college careers and then use our services throughout their time at DeSales.We would love to hear from you and your students.
