As you plan your course
Does your course include research, information gathering, or use of specialized information tools? Consider partnering with a librarian to increase student support and lighten your teaching burden. An Instruction and Research Services Librarian can work with your students during class and on their own time.

- Librarian visit to your class to introduce themselves, inviting students to make an appointment for 1:1 research consultations
- 10 minutes...
- Very brief overview of research guides and where to find more information
- 15 minutes...
- Using citation management software and how to include it in research workflows
- 30 minutes...
- Suggestion and demonstration of up to three relevant databases
- 45 minutes...
- Demonstrations of digital resources and a practice activity
- Demonstrations of specialized resources
- Searching/idea generation activity that leaves students with sources for an assignment
- 50-75 minutes...
- Demonstrations of specialized resources with practices activities
- Research time with librarian available for 1:1 and small group support
Outside of class
- 1:1 research consultations by appointment
- Group consultations for group work

Students can schedule appointments on their own using the "schedule appointment" button on the librarian profile.
