As the year winds down, don’t forget to schedule Library instruction for your classes in Spring 2015! Whether your students need to learn basic library skills or advanced subject-specific research strategies, the Library can help. We offer three online tutorials, in-person classes, and online assignment guides.
ONLINE D2L TUTORIALS:
Highly popular for all modes of instruction, our online D2L tutorials also provide a convenient way to help distance learners gain library research skills. See http://www.langara.bc.ca/library/services/faculty/d2l.html for more information.
1. Introduction to Research – Introduces academic library research to first-year students in all disciplines.
2. Avoiding Plagiarism – Discusses intentional and unintentional plagiarism, explains why students need to be aware of the issues surrounding academic integrity, and provides clear solutions for avoiding plagiarism.
3. Evaluating Web Resources – Introduces website evaluation criteria to students in all disciplines.
IN-PERSON LIBRARY CLASSES:
Whether you’re planning a major research assignment or just want to be sure students are comfortable using library resources, your subject librarian can work with you to design a session tailored to meet the specific needs of your students. These classes can be held in a computer lab for hands-on learning, or in your regular classroom.
ONLINE ASSIGNMENT GUIDES:
Your subject librarian can create a custom online guide to help students with the research component of their assignments. See examples of assignment guides: http://www.langara.bc.ca/library/research-help/assignment-help/index.html
