Teaching
There are a variety of delivery methods for library instruction.
What does collaboration look like?
- Integration into first year English classes and micro library instructional sessions
- Integrated support in systematic review courses
- Scaffolded research support within a department
- Implementation of case based learning strategies
Library instruction can occur in a variety of ways depending on your goals including:
- A single session ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours
- Multiple integrated sessions ranging from 30 minutes to 90 minutes per session
In order for library instruction to be effective it should be developed in collaboration between the subject librarian and the class instructor. Please consider booking a short meeting with your subject librarian to discuss library instruction that is appropriate for your class.
Here are a few things your librarian will need prior to instruction:
- Preferred date and time
- Assignment(s) + syllabi
- Session goals, what do you want your students to get out of this
- A date and time to meet to discuss above
Librarians can review your existing assignments, or work with you to design assignments that are:
- Supported by the library collection
- Scaffolded to break out research skills into manageable chunks
- Meet the goals and objectives of the course
“I like to think of subject librarians as facilitators for access and integration of information, whether that is simply where to start a search, or doing a fully developed literature review.”
