Librarians are available to partner with faculty to provide ongoing support to students throughout the duration of a course as an embedded librarian. This support can include one or more of the following three options:
Librarian as TA — Librarians interact with students in Canvas and over email and upload point-of-need library orientation and instruction.
Course-Specific LibGuide — Librarians create a guide, which can be embedded into Canvas, with instruction and/or suggested resources that support assignments throughout the course.
Assignment-Specific LibGuide Tab — Librarians create a guide, which can be embedded into Canvas, with instruction and/or suggested resources that support one assignment within the course.
Please provide advanced notice for these requests. A minimum of two weeks is required for the creation of any guide.
