Instructors, are you interested in building library research skills into your course? Your Teaching & Learning Librarians would love to help. We work with faculty across disciplines to build library instruction that fits naturally into your course goals and meets your students where they are — no one-size-fits-all approach here.
A few ways we can collaborate:
- Self-paced online modules that students can complete on their own time, and you can assign a percentage of marks for completion. Browse our modules.
- Library workshops offered throughout the term that cover a variety of topics, for which students can receive Student Experience record credit.
- Interactive in-class sessions where we work directly with your students on research skills.
- Assignment design support, helping you build research components that introduce students to the best resources for their discipline.
Everything we do is grounded in our Information & Research Skills Curriculum and built to be interactive and inclusive, ideally growing alongside your students as they move through their academic careers.
Reach out anytime — we’re always happy to talk through what might work best for your class.
