Distance Library Services: Library Instruction

The library has a subject liaison model where the library faculty is a liaison to a specific department. They provide library instruction, creates subject specific research guides, do collection development and work closely with departmental faculty on various issues. 
 Here's a list of the library faculty liaison.

Did you know that we can deliver one-on-one instruction to you via:

• synchronous instruction through Big Blue Button, Zoom, Skype
• LibGuides created for specific courses
• specific tutorials
• instruction via phone, email, chat
• short tutorial links sent via email

You can contact me during my online office hours or send an email to set up an appointment.

What is Library Instruction?
 
Students at Salisbury University should be aware of the wide variety of print and electronic information resources available to them and should be able to conduct effective library research by learning how to identify, access, retrieve and evaluate appropriate information for their needs (information literacy).
 
To achieve this,  librarians are readily available to teach library instruction sessions tailored toward a curricular or research need.  

Librarians are able to provide both synchronous and asynchronous instruction. Synchronous instruction is available via:

• Big Blue Button (through My Classes/Canvas)

• Zoom

• Skype

• IVN

Librarians can be embedded in MyClasses throughout the semester and provide online assistance to students at their point of need. Librarians can also create short video tutorials using a variety of tools.

For Faculty:

Library instruction is available on a first-come, first-served basis to all Salisbury University classes at the request of the course instructor (please allow a two-week lead time).
