Online and Off-Campus Learning

Did you know that you can embed a librarian in your Canvas course to provide information about the library. The librarian can import a library module into your Canvas course that highlights resources specific to the subject of the course. They can interact with your students via a discussion board or assignment that pertains to information literacy and research. And of course we are also happy to provide either a face-to-face library workshop or an online webinar for your students. 

Contact Molly Mansfield, mmansfield@dom.edu, for more information. 

Welcome online and off-campus faculty! My name is Molly Mansfield and I am the Online Learning Librarian. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about providing library instruction and services to your class.

Each video contains a link that you can use to embed the video in your class page. The collection can be found alphabetically in the A-Z Database List on the Articles & Databases tab of the library homepage or by going directly to Alexander Street Press. 

Crown Library's Instruction Program is available to all faculty members, on campus and off.

The Program includes:

• Library orientations.
• Information literacy workshops.
• Sessions on conducting research and using databases in specific disciplines.
• Any library instruction session that will help your students and complement your curriculum!

For online courses, a librarian can meet with your class using Adobe Connect, a web conferencing service that allows for an interactive session that can be recorded and added to your class portal for students unable to attend the live session.

For courses at Grayslake and Triton, a librarian can meet with your class face-to-face.

Contact me at mmansfield@dom.edu for more information about library instruction for your class.
