Do your students need help with research? (including topic selection, planning their search strategy, finding & evaluating materials, citing their work). Have them reserve a block of time with a librarian for online 1-on-1 research consultation & assistance. Bookings can be made at tiny.cc/bookalibrarian
Library instruction is key to building students' information literacy. Information literacy allows scholars to assess their information needs, find information, evaluate it, and use it appropriately per the ACRL Information Literacy Framework for Higher Education.
The Library instruction request form may be used to schedule an information literacy session conducted in-person or online. In addition, this form may be used to request the creation of various online research aids such as a course guide, video tutorial, lesson plan, or other services to support your teaching.
Please notify us a week in advance for previously taught library instruction sessions and two weeks in advance for new library instruction sessions to ensure that we can accommodate your request. To assist in planning and get the most out of a library instruction session, the form asks you to upload a copy of the assignment or course syllabus as well as select up to two learning objectives for the instruction session.

The purpose of Course Reserves is to assist teaching faculty by providing a facility in which there is controlled circulation of class material needed by their students. Traditional and digital course lists are accessible through CENTRAL SEARCH by Instructor or Course Name. Signing into CENTRAL SEARCH first is essential for locating the material.
Here are detailed instructions on how to request items be placed on reserve.
You can find ways to supplement the material using Open Educational Resources (OER). It is possible to find OER in your discipline, which students can then access online. While the OER you find may not be exactly like the original textbooks or materials you used for your course, they will still provide important resources for student learning in these extraordinary circumstances.
To learn about and find OER, please visit: http://libguides.ccsu.edu/OER
For help finding materials related to your subject, or with any other OER-related questions, contact the OER Library Team:
