Request online library instruction

In the Fall of 2021, the default mode for library instruction will be online (Zoom or Blackboard). If you teach an online-only or hybrid course, a librarian can join you in a virtual session to provide instruction covering library research skills. Please note that this Fall as we continue remote teaching, we will be offering 30-minute virtual class visits, and the course instructor is expected to be present and participating throughout the session. Please be sure you enable the librarian as co-presenter in whatever platform you use (and be sure you know how to do this in advance) so they can share their screens if warranted. Since it is not pedagogically feasible to cover too much in one session, you should consider which two or three skills will be most relevant and useful to your students given their current assignment and consult with the librarian prior to the session about this.

In the form below, please be sure to explicitly state whether you are requesting that a librarian visit your virtual class (30-minute session) or whether you prefer to independently share information with your students based on specific skill-building resources suggested by a librarian. Because various courses will be taught in person or remotely, and because library faculty will be working on hybrid schedules, we will pair you with a librarian for a requested week with the understanding that course instructor and librarian will decide when and how the session will take place. At this time the library classroom is not equipped to fulfill the COVID-19 safety protocols.

Instruction requests must be placed a minimum of 10 days in advance of the session.
