During the Session At the beginning of class, encourage students to ask questions. As the librarian presents the material, feel free to interject. Emphasize points that you think are important. Explain how the material relates to their assignment. Ask questions you think your students might have since many are reluctant to speak up in an unfamiliar environment.
Students like to hear that their instructors have learned something.
Even though you're a very sophisticated searcher, you may have learned a helpful search tip, or you may have learned about one of our new resources. This helps to reinforce the idea that there is always something new to learn, especially since libraries and technology change so much. After the Session Remember that the session will introduce your students to the resources. However, they will still need much practice and guidance, either from you or from the a librarian. We get very positive feedback from students who meet with a librarian.
