Request Instruction

Boyden Library offers instruction sessions for class assignments and research projects that help students develop research skills in order to locate, evaluate, and effectively use information. With an emphasis on information literacy and bibliographic instruction, we work closely with teachers in order to tailor lessons so that they reflect the curriculum, support class objectives, and empower students for academic success. 

To schedule an appointment, please contact researchhelp@deerfield.edu

Frequently Asked Questions

Most materials may be renewed for an additional loan period in one of several ways:

Reserves, many interlibrary loans, and items with holds may not be renewed.

Students and others will be charged the cost of replacement for any item not returned after a bill has been issued and for damaged materials.

Reference, rare book collection, some interlibrary loan titles, and the most current issue of a periodical do not circulate and may be used only in the library.

Any library patron may place a hold on a currently-checked-out item. Information Desk staff are happy to place holds or users may place their own holds online (search the Library catalog for the title of interest, if it’s Not Available click the Place Hold button and follow the prompts). Users will receive an email notification once the item is ready for pick-up.
