Check out KSL's newly transformed, online library instruction support services and resources:
Virtual Support Consultations. KSL Librarians can meet online or by phone to review course content and present options for scaffolding library research literacy, information seeking, topic scoping and other important skills into your courses and Canvas course sites.
KSL Instruction Hub. Newly-authored, on-demand learning modules (20 total, with more on the way), downloadable from Canvas Commons, provide convenience and flexibility in incorporating learning content directly into your Canvas course sites. Modules address: foundation skills for First Seminar and lower division undergraduate students; skills for University Seminar and other undergraduate students engaged in project and paper research; and specialized resource and research management tool orientations for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students. The modules also can be shared publicly or embedded into other platforms with the module's unique link.
Synchronous In-Class Zoom Visits. Whether for a single class period or through shorter, mini-visits during the semester, our live Zoom sessions engage students with customized activities and discussions that directly relate to course assignments and learning objectives.
As part of the Engineering Week (E-Week) activities, the KSL Challenge dared students to test their research skills with ten engineering source-related questions. We are very proud of the three participants with perfect scores!
