Library Instruction
If you are teaching a class with a research assignment requiring the use of the library, please consider the variety of ways the library offer instruction by consulting the following:
- Schedule a library instruction session using our online request form
- Library Instruction Describes ways that faculty can incorporate library instruction into their courses
- Plagiarism Workshop A 50 minute session that informs FYE students about policies and procedures at KSU as well as an interactive discussion of what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it
- Plagiarism School Unique program designed to reeducate students caught plagiarizing
- Teaching Area In addition, the library recently renovated its Teaching Area on the first floor. While mostly used when librarians give instructional sessions, faculty are encouraged to use the area. As an example of how the area can be used, faculty can teach their regular lesson in this area and reserve some time at the end of the class period to allow students to work on their research assignment in the library. The Teaching Area is fully equipped with a workstation, SmartBoard and overhead projector. The library has a few dozen mobile devices (netbooks and laptops) that may also be used in the Teaching Area. Finally, as an incentive for bringing a class to the library for a session in the Teaching Area, a laser printer is available that allows students to print for free during the time the class meets in the Teaching Area (all other times student must pay 5 cents per page to print). If you are interested in bringing your class to the library for instruction by a librarian, or if you just want to use the Teaching Area, please contact a librarian or use our online request form to schedule the session.
