Instructor’s checklist for requesting a librarian visit

For the 2020/2021 academic year, virtual support is available. In-person support is not offered.

Getting started

  • Start a conversation with your liaison librarian about classroom library instruction.
  • A librarian visit works best when it takes place 2 to 3 weeks before a research assignment is due.
  • Pass along the following information to your librarian:
    • Course title, code, and section
    • Number of students in your class
    • A copy of the research assignment that your students are currently working on.
    • A copy of your course outline, if possible.

Before the session

  • Reviewed the research assignment with your students prior to the librarian visit.
  • Ask students to start thinking about the information-seeking process.
  • Have you considered making attendance mandatory for the visit?
  • Are you able to attend the librarian visit?
  • If there are questions regarding an assignment that come up in the library session, you are the best person to answer them.

Follow-up

  • Was the librarian visit beneficial to your students?
  • Please feel free to provide feedback to your liaison librarian.
