Are you teaching this fall? The Clark Library offers instruction in two areas: information literacy and multimedia skills. Now is a great time to schedule us to meet with your classes before our calendar fills up. Librarians teach information literacy sessions and collaborate with you to make sure key concepts are covered. They also create course guides to support your students in their academic research and projects. To schedule a class meeting, please email preferred dates and times to reference@up.edu.
The Digital Lab coordinator provides assistance with creating assignments and instructs classes that have multimedia projects such as creating videos, digital posters, and digital photography. Email José Velazco at velazco@up.edu to arrange multimedia instruction through the Digital Lab.
Faculty are encouraged to make course materials available to students through the library’s popular Course Reserves service. Clark Library staff are ready to add materials for fall classes and handle copyright screening. They also ensure that scanned materials meet accessibility standards.
