Teaching Support


Instructional Services

We are here to help you teach! Request assistance in designing and testing library assignments, using library resources in the classroom, and creating class-related bibliographies. You can schedule instructional sessions that are designed specifically for your class, covering areas such as library research strategies, critical thinking skills, and information literacy. Contact your departmental library for details on what instructional services they provide or contact Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, Coordinator for Information Literacy Services and Instruction.

Integrating Library Resources into Course Pages

Librarians have many tools, tips, and strategies to assist you and your students. Includes library resources you can link into your course management system.

LibGuides

Departmental libraries create webpages that provide instructional resources for students and instructors, including research guides, subject guides, database guides, and class guides. A subject guide might consist of an annotated bibliography on a particular topic, or it might be a detailed list of library resources for a specific topic. 

Class Materials by Course

Many librarians create webpages for course-integrated instruction for their students to access as preparation for the instruction session or as a supplement to the in-person instruction. The resources are organized by course name and number.
