To kick off the fall 2021 semester, University Libraries highlights five ways its faculty and staff can partner with instructors to support your teaching and your students’ learning.
Strengthen Students’ Information Literacy and Research Skills
Librarians can work with you to develop assignments, learning objects and experiences, units, entire courses, and curricular sequences that advance the critical, ethical, and equitable access, use, and creation of information. Consult with us to get started.
Add a Librarian to Your Canvas Course
Add a “Course Librarian” in your Canvas course shell and provide your students a convenient and direct connection to a librarian for consultation. Librarians can also work with you to create customized research guides to embed within your Canvas courses. Find your librarian by subject specialty.
Integrate Online Tutorials and Customized Content
Build your students’ research skills with online tutorials and resources that cover topics such as how to use the Libraries Quick Search, starting your research, and finding and evaluating sources. The Libraries can work with you to integrate these materials into Canvas or develop customized content for your students.
Find, Connect, and Access Resources
University Libraries provides licensed content (books, book chapters, journal articles, DVDs, and streaming video) for use in your courses. Library staff can help you locate and make materials available online through Canvas or at one of the designated Libraries ASKus locations. Contact us to place materials on reserve.
Incorporate Digital Equipment and Technology
Students can borrow a wide range of digital equipment and accessories for their research, class assignments, projects, and presentations. Items available include large format scanners, 3D scanners, various cameras, and One Button Studios, which is located in the Adele Hall Learning Commons and the Dinsdale Family Learning Commons.
Contact your librarian to learn more about ways we can partner with you in the classroom, and to find support for your own research, too.
