| | Database Instruction Guides Committee ChargeThe Instruction Committee works to enhance the ability of academic and research librarians to serve effectively students, faculty, and other users researching Women's Studies and related disciplines.

They were developed in order to assist librarians in teaching students and faculty how to more effectively and efficiently use women's studies databases.

The guides are in .PDF format so that librarians can easily print them as class handouts and will be updated as needed. The following is a list of the available Database Instruction Guides:
