    by Meredith Bratland
    written by Meredith Bratland

    The University of Alberta librarians were out in full force this fall developing online library instruction sessions for students and faculty. This year required some changes to the traditional ways and they seized the opportunity. Live, online class sessions – morning, afternoon and night!

    There was also an 18% increase in attendance, reaching 10,321 individuals.

    Topics of the sessions ranged from the traditional inquiries of searching strategies, library orientation and citations. There has also been a growing interest in research data management, digital scholarship, publishing and research metrics.

    To set up an instruction session for your courses, contact your subject librarian or Ask Us via online chat.
