Information Literacy
In the first month of school, the library has held over 20 different types of information literacy or library information session so far. These were held in campus classrooms and online. They have reached over 350 university students and instructors/staff, and we are just getting started!
If you have had a librarian visit your classroom, be sure to give us your feedback or ask for your students' feedback! If you still would like one for the year, it is not too late to schedule a session!
Student Research Consultations
Student service alert!
Find your students struggling to find sources? Think they could use an extra hand making their reference page/citations? They didn't quite understand during your library classroom visit? Recommend to them a library research consultation.
In a research consultation, we will meet with your students one-on-one to discuss their topics, what they have tried so far to find research, and what they can do moving forward. This service is available on-campus and online.
Academic Integrity Development
Ever have students plagiarize but didn't feel right assigning the XF grade? Maybe they're new to college, or maybe it seems that they just don't understand citations.The library has a solution to offer you and the student! Academic Integrity Development (AID) is designed to help students understand and develop those skills. It is also available to seated and online students.
AID transforms violations of the university’s Academic Honesty Policy into a documented learning opportunity through a series of self-paced learning modules in Moodle on citations, academic integrity, and prevention tools. It is then followed up with a tutoring appointment for the plagiarized assignment, which can occur virtually for online students. To learn more about the program or to enroll a student, visit the AID information page or contact us.

An Evidence-Based Guide for College and University Teaching by What makes a good college teacher? This book provides an evidence- based answer to that question by presenting a set of "model teaching characteristics" that define what makes a good college teacher. Based on six fundamental areas of teaching competency known as Model Teaching Characteristics outlined by The Society for the Teaching of Psychology(STP), this book describes how college faculty from all disciplines and at all levels of experience can use these characteristics to evaluate, guide, and improve their teaching.
Becoming a Student-Ready College by
Becoming a Student–Ready College flips the college readiness conversation to provide a new perspective on creating institutional value and facilitating student success. Instead of focusing on student preparedness for college (or lack thereof), this book asks the more pragmatic question of what are colleges and universities doing to prepare for the students who are entering their institutions? What must change in an institution′s policies, practices, and culture in order to be student–ready?

It provides pathways to developing higher-order thinking in every student and setting. Key to its success is that it connects reading, writing, listening, thinking, and speaking.
