For Future Reference: Online Users in the Library

By IGI Global on May 20, 2013
Mary Anne Hansen University librarians play an integral role in the academic success of students, collaborating with faculty and administration to provide students with complete information literacy and encourage critical thinking skills.

In the June edition of IGI Global’s Online Symposium Series, Montana State University librarians Mary Anne Hansen and Sheila Bonnand will share their experiences in expanding instructional services by adding synchronous library instruction to better serve online students and faculty across the globe. This presentation, entitled Innovative Techniques for Online and Distance Library Users, will discuss how these librarians have utilized web conferencing for the past four years to embed interactive, high-touch library instruction in online courses. This effort was launched to provide and insure that students taking classes online are afforded the opportunities for library instruction just like students in traditional face-to-face courses on campus.

This symposium is based on Hansen and Bonnand’s chapter “Embedded Librarians: Delivering Synchronous Library Instruction and Sign Up
Today! Research Assistance to Meet Needs of Distance Students and Faculty” in Interactivity in E-Learning: Case Studies and Frameworks.
