Requesting Library Instruction

If you need your students to complete a research project or paper, it can be helpful to have a librarian lead a session with your class. We absolutely love teaching research skills and concepts to Belmont students! To request instruction, please fill out the form.

Instruction Notes

Please request library instruction at least 2 weeks in advance of your date. Quality instruction takes time to develop!
Plan on attending the class session with your students. Experience has shown us that students are much more engaged in the session when their instructor is present (and participating!).

Asynchronous Instruction Examples

Want to request asynchronous library instruction? We offer several formats, and are happy to explore any format ideas you may have in mind! Asynchronous instruction can be requested by using this form.

Check out some examples for asynchronous instruction we've created below.

What is a Substantial Source? (LibWizard Tutorial Example)
LibWizards are librarian-made tutorials. They allow students to search or use a website or other file while answering questions. You can award credit for completion by asking students to upload the certificate of completion, or by asking the librarian for a CSV report of completions.
Mass Media and Society Intro (Video Example)
We are happy to create videos on any number of topics. Check out this example for what the end product could possibly look like!
Welcome to the Library! (Articulate Tutorial Example)
We can also create Articulate tutorials, which can be added directly to Canvas. When a student completes the tutorial, the grade is automatically recorded!
COM 2340 Research Guide (Custom Research Guide Example)
Librarians can also make a custom research guide for your class, if you want to curate a set of information of links for your course.
