Teaching and Classroom Support

Purpose

Torreyson Library provides a variety of instructional support services designed to integrate information literacy into your courses in flexible ways. Our instruction program is guided by the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education

Services

Classroom Instruction

We provide tailored instruction sessions for your classes, either in person or online. Our librarians work with you to design lessons that align with your course goals and assignments, helping students learn how to:

  • Develop research questions
  • Navigate databases and evaluate sources
  • Identify and understand misinformation and disinformation
  • Incorporate digital literacy into their everyday lives

Customized Course Guides

We can work with you to create research guides for your course in addition to classroom instruction or as a standalone resource for student learning. These guides include recommended resources, search tips, and assignment-specific help.

Examples

  • Understanding Information Literacy
    • Created for MGMT 3355 to be used in conjunction with an instruction session
    • Highly customized for a specific assignment
  • ENGL 2370 - Intro to Fiction
    • Created for a fully online course
    • Intended to be used as a standalone resource to help students complete their research project

Email libraryinstruction@uca.edu to request a course guide.

Customized Department Guides

We can create department-level research guides that provide a curated overview of discipline-specific databases, journals, citation styles, and research concepts.

Examples

Research Consultations

Don’t have enough time to incorporate an instruction session into your course? Encourage your students to meet one-on-one or in a small group with a librarian for help at any stage of their research process. Note: Planning for your whole class to meet with us in a short period of time (i.e. in a 1-2 week time frame)? Feel welcome to give us a heads up by sending an email to ask@uca.libasnwers.com.

Research Assignment Collaboration

We’re happy to work with you to create or refine your research assignments. We can:

  • Collaborate with you to design a new assignment that integrates research and information literacy skills.
  • Review an existing assignment to ensure students have the tools and support they need.

Request a review with the Research Assignment Collaboration form.
