Course-related Information Literacy Instruction
We are committed to the safety and support of our students, colleagues, and community. We look forward to collaborating with you to identify flexible and safe options for integrating information literacy instruction into your courses, including: synchronous (librarian-led Zoom workshops), asynchronous (web-based learning objects, video tutorials, and LibGuides), and embedded librarian options. Please continue to collaborate with your librarian to identify the best options and strategies for you and your students.
Schedule a live or synchronous instruction session, at your campus or online, with a library instructor to help your students learn the research and information literacy skills they need to succeed academically.
Please book two weeks in advance to allow our team adequate time to prepare a class that best suits your students’ needs. Also make sure that your students know their research topics and are actively working on their assignment.
Request your session through our Library Instruction Request Form.
