The instructor has tested the assignment to be sure it is workable and that the resources needed to complete it are available. The librarians are happy to work with you to plan a research project that will result in a successful library experience for your student. Sessions are designed to address immediate information needs. By telling us in detail the objectives of your course assignment, we can arrange an effective library instruction session that ties in with the content of your course. Classes take library sessions seriously.
Students are more likely to be enthusiastic when their instructors are.
Prepare your class for the library visit by letting them know what you expect them to get from it. Let your students know that what will be done in the library class is important to successful completion of their assignment. Encourage them to take notes and ask questions. Show them you are interested by being an active participant. Librarians have time to think about your class's needs and plan an appropriate workshop.
