Senior or Advanced Seminar Modules

Don’t overestimate what your seniors know about conducting scholarly research or using technology to present their own research!

Library Research or Presentation Preparation · 60-90 minutes

Library Research

The specifics of this session depend on the needs of the course and the preparation of the students. This session may provide an in-depth introduction to discipline-specific library research tools and the flow of scholarly communication within a field. Often for senior seminars we bring in a group of Librarians to consult with students on their individual topics, while providing research time with computers and resources. This is especially effective when you are there providing disciplinary guidance.

Presentation Preparation

Senior or advanced seminar students are often asked to present their research, sometimes in multiple formats. Students may need help with various technology and software to create their presentations. We offer sessions on using presentation software, creating posters, creating web pages, etc. Please consult with your Academic Information Associate (AIA) or Library Liaison for help with planning.

Please Note

• Our schedule fills rapidly, especially in the fall.
• Please schedule early and be flexible about the dates you can meet.
• We find instruction is most effective when you are present in the class.
• If students are expected to do library research as part of an assignment it is best to schedule the session(s) for when students are really working on the assignment.
• We will be glad to consult with you about when the session may work best with your syllabus

Who May Be Involved

All sessions are taught by Librarians and/or Academic Information Associates (AIAs), specializing in your field or in the resources being taught. You will be contacted by the instructor(s) after scheduling your session(s).
