Technology, Teaching And Faculty : Collaborations That Work, Valla Mclean, Carolee Pollock

LOEX Conference Proceedings 2009

In an effort to address both the drawbacks of the one-shot library session and student apathy towards the library, a reference librarian and humanities professor developed a multi-tiered plan to enhance the information literacy learning experience of students. Through just-in-time instruction taught in the students’ classroom through a library resources module in Blackboard embedded in a humanities course this unique collaborative effort transcended space and academic departments.
