to Research Road TripThe CBU Library has developed these modules in WebCT to help your students learn concepts and skills for using the Libraries' databases, collections and resources. You can have your students complete the modules in two ways, as a registered user or as a guest.
- Registered User:
You can assign the tutorial and have students' quiz grades recorded. Students will need to go to Add Courses and self-register for the INST (Library Instruction) course, using their CBU e-mail username and password. - Guest:
If you want students to explore the course on their own, they should login using the provided guest username and password. Their quiz grades will not be recorded.
Class Instruction
A faculty member may schedule an instruction session for
any class. The instruction sessions often work better with
classes that have a research component. These sessions should
start close to the time that the students begin their assignment.
Course-related instruction can be customized to meet your class's assignment. Examples of the kinds of material we can cover include such topics as creating a search strategy, finding books and articles on a particular topic, using specific databases, and evaluating print and electronic sources. For classes with up to 25 students, sessions can be held in the library's Infolab, which enables students to learn in a hands-on environment.
