Instruction Services: What we offer

CCC Librarians are flexible in how we provide instruction to hybrid, remote, online, and in person courses! We focus on active learning, giving students a chance to try out techniques and discover information. To learn more about options, read on.

  • Live Zoom lesson (synchronous)- a librarian will meet with your remote class via Zoom to offer in-depth research skill building or general orientation to the library (or anything in between!). Live Zoom sessions can be recorded for students who miss the class or to link in your Moodle site. Sessions are usually 15-50 minutes and we work to incorporate active learning time for students.
  • Recorded Zoom lesson (asynchronous) - a librarian will record an instruction or orientation session tailored to the needs of your class that you can share via email and Moodle. Sessions are usually 15-30 minutes.
  • Live Zoom "office hours" (synchronous) - a librarian will be available to sign into your class to answer questions and provide guidance based on student needs and questions. This is less formal than a Zoom lesson - we will come hang out and be available if students need help as they work, but we will not plan a lesson. This is appropriate if students already know the basics of searching and pairs nicely with a recorded Zoom session. Sessions are usually 15-50 minutes.
  • Research Guide (asynchronous) - a librarian will create a customized website for your course, assignment, academic discipline, or another topic. Research Guides pull together useful information for students to help them find, retrieve, and evaluate resources. Creating a guide is highly collaborative with the instructor. Please notify us 4 weeks in advance if you are interested in a research guide. 
  • In-person lesson (synchronous) - a librarian will come to your classroom to teach in-depth research skill building or general orientation to the library (or anything in between!). Sessions are usually 15-50 minutes and we work to incorporate active learning time for students. We offer this service to any of the three physical campuses.

To request any of the services above, or to ask us about another idea you have, please fill out the instruction request form.
