In-Person Library Instruction Options

On Campus or Online Course Instruction

A Librarian can visit your classroom in person or online to provide students various levels of instruction using the Library's catalog, databases, and online tools. A Librarian will consult with you to customize the content of instructional sessions for students in any class you teach. A Librarian can also provide information literacy instruction for students in your classes on such topics as avoiding plagiarism, determining credible sources, or complying with copyright law.

Flipped Classroom Instruction

"The term Flip the Classroom refers to inverting the traditional method of teaching; that is, turning upside down the model in which information (teaching the lesson) is presented during class time, and homework is assigned for practice at home" (Fulton, 2014).

For library instruction, we use the online tutorials for students to complete before face-to-face instruction. This is to optimize librarian instructional time with students through a flipped classroom library instruction model which will allow librarians to engage students with activities during our face-to-face instruction.
