In our current remote learning environment, your librarians continue to offer a range of services and resources to support your teaching and to help students be successful in their learning and grow to become life long readers and learners.
What we offer:
Instruction: Librarian-led instruction and tutorials on using library resources and developing research skills, embedded in your class instruction or project flow (both synchronous & asynchronous) at point of need.
LibGuides: Request a resource guide for a selected topic, to support ongoing research or independent reading. Collaboratively plan with your librarian so that the LibGuide is tailored to meet your learning goals for your students as well as their developmental needs and interests.
Programming: Request original programming to promote reading for enjoyment.
Request Library purchases: Suggest resources to add to our print and digital collections to support your curriculum, to grow our professional collection, or to read for pleasure. Your input and feedback are welcome!
