Professors are required to host two live lecture sessions per course each term. We work to connect with faculty to offer library instruction sessions during the first live lecture offered during each term, which coincides with Unit II. Our live lecture sessions are brief (10-15 minutes) and offer instruction on how students might need to use the library during their first research assignment (due in Unit III).
These sessions are presented more informally than the library webinars; think of them as you would one-on-one research appointments, where you share your screen of the library website and guide students step-by-step to the most important resources and demonstrate the best strategies needed to complete their research assignments.
Time to see live instruction in action! Attend one of our upcoming live webinars (see schedule here), and one of our live lecture sessions. Then complete the forms below. (For the live lecture session, ask your colleagues to let you know when they have one scheduled so you can attend.)
More favorites wanted! List them below. These can be foods or anything you like. Complete any that apply. These will be uploaded to your LibConnect profile in the Team tab.
