OLD -- Information Literacy Guide for Faculty

Scheduling Tips

• Schedule your session at a time in the semester when information is most helpful for your students, usually within 3 weeks of an assignment due date and very near the time it is introduced to students.

• Submit your request early to get your preferred date, ideally at least two weeks in advance. 1 week's notice is required.

• Sessions are generally held in the Library Classroom (BH 1208), which provides a hands-on learning environment. We will also come to any NWACC location.

• We are available for any scheduled class time, including evenings and Saturday.

Effective library instruction sessions are assignment-based.

• Faculty should schedule a library session when students are working on a specific assignment.

• Provide a copy of the assignment with the library session request. 

• Librarians are available to collaborate with instructors in designing an assignment or to review an existing assignment.
• We will suggest student learning outcomes for the library session based on your assignment's parameters for your approval.
