Course-specific handouts

Wondering where you put that handout the librarian gave you at the BI? Here are some of them.

These handouts were created by Butte College librarians with a focus on a specific course or assignment in a class.

Course resources include:

• Bibliographic Instruction handouts (prepared by the librarians who teach the sessions)
• Resources provided by instructors

Class resources are available after the Bibliographic Instruction session.

Instructors who would like to request a BI for their classes can fill out the BI Request Form online or call the Reference Desk at 879-4024.
