Reference librarians are available to provide library instruction to all classes taught at the Central/Davie or WHC Campus. Instruction sessions may be subject-specific on traditional or online library resources, or geared to library tours, the Internet, or general database-searching techniques. In these sessions, the librarians also strive to include information literacy strategies in the instruction. By discussing in advance the goals and objectives you expect to be accomplished in the session and the outcomes you expect students to achieve with their research will enable the librarians to tailor the instruction to meet your class needs. Information literacy concepts also enable students to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information not only for their immediate need but also when other learning situations arise. For more information on information literacy standards, refer to the Association of College and Research Libraries Web site at http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlstandards/informationliteracycompetency.htm#ildef.
Most instruction sessions take place in the library’s computer classroom, Room 104. To enhance learning, faculty is expected to remain with their class and participate in the instruction as applicable. Faculty members are also requested to avoid unscheduled instruction class trips to the library or to use instruction as a substitute for a faculty member’s absence. To ensure that a class will receive adequate assistance, submit an online request at least two weeks in advance at http://ucl.broward.edu/test/biform.htm. A confirmation notice will be sent for every instruction class scheduled.
Throughout the year, the library may offer tours and general research classes. E-mails will be sent to faculty announcing dates and times. Any one can sign up online through the library Web page. The librarians also offer individualized research assistance to faculty members.
