Actually, I’m enjoying excellent relations with the Lakeland faculty, thank you. But this article, Show Your Librarian Some Love, from the October 3rd 2006 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education makes a good point about why instructors should welcome librarians in their classes for “research instruction” (access to the full text should work if you are on campus).
So far this semester, I have thaught ten such sessions and have at least six more coming up. Assessment shows that for a majority of students, the sessions are very welcomed and useful to them as they have never received such instruction before. I still have room on my calendar so, instructors, don’t hesitate to contact me.
