Jonathan Young and Sarah Nakashima Present “Developing Library Instruction: Learning as We Go”

The LIS Research Forum continues with a presentation by Jonathan Young, a Hamilton Library Natural Science Librarian, and Sarah Nakashima, a Hamilton Library Humanities Librarian, titled “Developing Library Instruction: Learning as We Go”. Hamilton Library traditionally offers library instruction in one-shot format. Which is to say, classes may request library instruction in support of specific research assignments. While this is one way to offer library support to students, it leaves the majority of the student population most likely never to experience library instruction. We seek to offer a multi-disciplinary support for Graduate students, meeting them at their information needs. We will share our experience over the past couple of years offering a series of workshops aimed at graduate students’ research work and the varying strategies and environments we have tried, and we will share the results of those variances and what we learned through each iteration. The presentation will be held on Monday, February 12, from 2:00-3:00 pm in the LIS Program Area, Hamilton Basement, Room 003F, and also on Zoom. The Zoom meeting information and more information about the event can be found on the event flyer.
