Supporting Students Where They Are When They Need It: Scaling Instruction at the University of Arizona Libraries

Abstract

Continuing on the University of Arizona Libraries' long history of leveraging technology to support students in attaining information fluency, this poster will highlight two approaches for supporting students where and when they need assistance. We will discuss how the Libraries selected, developed, and refined a scalable and interactive online approach to database instruction and suggest an approach other libraries can adopt to make pedagogically sound database tutorials. We will also share a local tool designed to push course-appropriate library content and services to all courses using a course management system and our plans for modifying the tool so that faculty and librarians can work together to efficiently and easily create customized, integrated course guides.
