Guidelines for Library Instruction
- Library instruction offerings will correspond with the categories outlined below.
- Instructors are expected to be present during in-person/synchronous Library workshops. It is crucial that instructors be on hand to answer questions about the research assignment if they arise. In addition, experience has shown that students are more engaged when the instructor participates in the session.
- Requests for library instruction should be made prior to the start of term, or well in advance of the session. Notice is required in order to ensure availability and to allow librarians time to prepare and develop content.
- In-person/Synchronous teaching should be linked to an assignment. When the information is relevant to students’ immediate needs and concerns, they are more likely to recall and be able to use the resources and strategies taught. Students should be made aware of the requirements of the assignment and have had an opportunity to explore potential research topics.
