Online Support for Teaching
Online Instruction: Librarian will customize and lead a subject and course-specific library instruction session for your course. Topics range from a general orientation to the library, locating sources for evidence-based practice, to how to identify new publishing opportunities for new researchers. Sessions can be offered online via zoom depending on your course’s unique needs. You can request an instruction session by contacting your liaison librarian directly or emailing us at library@uthsc.edu.
Online Modules and Workshops: The Library is working to expand our collection of library instruction modules, which can embed into Blackboard. One of our most popular course modules is our Plagiarism Module. Please reach out to your liaison librarian if you would like for us to create a module for your course. We also offer weekly/bi-weekly online workshops on various topics. To see what library workshops are currently being offered, please visit our website. If there is a workshop or personalized instruction video you think could be useful to your students please let us know, we are always looking for ideas on useful material to add to our workshop collection.
E-Resources: In addition to online resources already in the collection, the Library is here to help identify other available resources to support instructors in their courses. Reach out to your liaison librarian for assistance identifying online educational content for your course. Additionally, many of our vendors have made resources temporarily available for educational use. For a list of these resources, please see our New/Trial Resource List.
