teaching LIBBIs (Library Instruction Sessions)

  • Request a LIBBI - If your class has an upcoming assignment, I can set up a LIBBI (library instruction session) in the library's LIBBI Lab for your students to get guided research help. We can also meet on Zoom, as needed.
  • Request a VR session - If your students are interested in the Library's VR or 3D programs, I can meet with them in the library, provide a demonstration, and guide them in a hands-on experience.
  • If you are interested in integrating opens new windowLibrary Learning Technologies into a course, I will be happy to explore options and work with you.
  • Request an online tutorial - Your students can get additional support by working through a relevant online tutorial at their own pace. Upon tutorial completion students can get a "Certificate of Completion" to upload to their D2L course.


search Course and Assignment LibGuides

  • Request a custom-designed LibGuide with recommended articles, books, journals and databases, and suggest research tools and strategies for your students. A LibGuide can be created to support an assignment, topic, or other course objective.
  • Request a LibGuide with "Professor Selected Readings" or required course readings that list article citations and provides full text links, when available. I can also work with you to find relevant articles on a specific subject to post on the page.
