Faculty Toolkit

Who Teaches Library Research?

We recognize that many faculty, across the disciplines, help students learn library research skills and practice them. Faculty librarians at Hostos can support your efforts by:

  • Working with you to design and co-facilitate in-class workshops tailored to your research assignment and learning goals (please see below for examples of base models of workshops and how to request a workshop);
  • Providing low-stakes activity and lesson plan ideas that you can integrate into your curriculum (please see the Activities section of this guide).
  • Collaborating with you to create course-specific research guides;
  • Working with you to hone research assignment design;
  • Sharing with you information about the resources available to Hostos students at the library;
  • Offering individual guidance to students and answers to their research questions at the reference desk on the lower level of the library.
