The UC San Diego Library offers customized support for faculty and teaching assistants in research and instruction on locating, evaluating and using information effectively and responsibly. Contact me to learn more about the services described below.
Instruction Services
Librarians are available to help engage students in the learning process by
teaching hands-on sessions on how to define a research question, systematically approach research projects, locate and evaluate information sources in all formats, and cite and document sources appropriately.
conducting individual or small group library research sessions outside of class time, tailored to the subject or course assignment.
Instruction Planning
Librarians help faculty and TAs to create learning environments that encourage students to use library resources and evaluate information. We are available to:
work with faculty and TAs to enhance syllabi by creating and adapting assignments and exercises to build student research and information skills and support goals and curricula
develop course-specific information resources such as web library guides that can be included in a course management system (CMS), such as WebCT
offer individual and/or small group consultations with faculty, TAs, RAs and students
review students’ research proposals and suggest research strategies and resources
discuss faculty research projects, new curricula, and grant proposals requiring supporting materials
Established in 2015, the Teaching + Learning Commons offers a suite of services and programs designed to develop better instructors and more engaged learners. The Teaching + Learning Commons is located on the first floor of the Geisel Library.
Course Reserves
Materials assigned as required reading in a class can beplaced on reserve to facilitate access by all students.
