High School Visits

Use this form to request a visit. Please also see this guide for help in locating open access resources to support your research.

High School Visit Checklist:  

  • It is expected that the library visit will center around an instruction session with a specific purpose, such as finding peer-reviewed articles in resources not available at the high school or local public library.
  • It is expected that the high school library media specialists will have introduced students to basic information literacy skills, such as information search, retrieval, and evaluation.
  • Whenever possible, the high school library media specialist, with the instructor, will serve as the liaison to the SBU Libraries.
  • Students in grades 10- 12, or Advanced Placement and other honors-level classes, are eligible to visit.
  • There is a limit of 50 students per visit, with a chaperone/20 students. Classes will be held in the library’s teaching labs in the Central Reading Room.
  • Requests for January or May are preferred so as not to conflict with existing University class schedules. Availability at other times of the year may be limited.

To Request a Visit:

  • Complete the high school visit request form.
  • Be as specific as you can about the research goals, assignments, student topics, and other questions.
  • We will follow up with you once we have received the form.
