Q. What can I expect from an in-class library instruction session?

In-class sessions are designed to be informative and active. While we are happy to highlight strategies for navigating specific library resources, we also want to allow students the opportunity to experiment with ideas, search strategies, and tools on their own or in groups, providing support and answering questions as they arise. Students may also benefit from in-class activities that develop more complex information literacy skills, such as evaluating sources and understanding scholarly communication in their discipline.

Sample Lesson Plans are available for general education and subject-specific classes that can be facilitated by a librarian and adapted to meet your needs. You may also freely use and implement them in your own instruction. For questions or to request a detailed outline, contact Alley Lindner (alindner@spalding.edu), Instruction & Outreach Librarian, or complete the attached form.
