Library Instruction: It's not too late!
Collaborate with subject-specific librarians on customized research tutorials, videos, how-to modules, and guides that can be added to your BlackBoard course. If you have already collaborated with a librarian in the past on tutorials or guides, please review those to ensure the content is ready (and let us know if it's not!). Planning ahead means we can meet your students' needs when and where they need us, and we look forward to working with you.
Now is the time to request in-person or synchronous/asynchronous library instruction for this semester (or, if you plan ahead, for next semester!). Library faculty are happy to visit your classes, collaborate on specific assignments, work with you to create research modules, and everything in between. Requesting early means securing us for your course schedule/syllabus to complement your research assignment deadlines.
