RWWL Philosophy of Instruction

The librarians of the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library view instruction as a starting point in the research process, not the end.

We prepare students for life-long learning and self-education by promoting a network of services, encouraging critical-thinking, and demonstrating responsible scholarship.

We believe that…

  • Research is a cyclical process.
  • Facts are important, but critical thinking is necessary.
  • Scholars grow in research competence.
  • Multimodal resources are essential to developing scholars.

We uphold our beliefs by…

  • Cultivating strong relationships with our users.
  • Asking library users their needs and seeking to meet them.
  • Affirming information literacy as a skill-set.
  • Teaching and promoting responsible scholarship.
  • Employing effective technology in our instruction.
  • Marketing library resources and services, while demonstrating how they fit into users' lives.
