Once enrolled, Class Librarians will add a discussion forum and instructional pages to your course. These can be moved around or added to any weekly module.  Students can get in-depth research help by posting in the Class Librarian discussion forum. See a sample librarian response to a student question. Consider adding a required or graded consultation with the librarian as part of the research process. This helps students become more engaged in the class librarian discussion and encourages library use. Your librarian will happily work with you to create an assignment that fits into your curriculum.    

Vermont Tech Class Librarians can be enrolled in your course to support your students’ information and research needs. Through a Class Librarian module added to your Canvas course, librarians will create a discussion forum and instructional pages. The Discussion Forum is a venue where students can post questions and get rapid, direct librarian feedback and assistance. Frequent Instructional Pages created by Class Librarians further help students by covering topics such as citation styles, how to request books and other materials, finding peer-reviewed articles, and searching for, evaluating, and utilizing course-specific resources. Vermont Tech Class Librarians will work closely with your students all throughout the semester as partners in their research endeavors, and as champions of their academic success.
