Library Instruction Methodology Course-Based Library Research Instruction Course-based Library Research Instruction sessions are available to Chapman Faculty whose students would benefit from library instruction suited to their course requirements. The online course-based library instruction session form must be completed before a session can be scheduled and it is located at http://www.chapman.edu/library/instruction/courseform.html. See also the Instruction Room Policy. Faculty need only complete this online form and a librarian will contact you to schedule an instruction session within 2-3 working days. Please allow the librarian a minimum of 7-10 days advance notice when scheduling a course-based library instruction session. The instruction session is usually held during a regularly scheduled class session and can be facilitated in the Leatherby Libraries' instruction room or in a "wired" classroom. There is a minimum time allotment of 40 minutes for a library instruction session. Faculty are strongly encouraged to be present during the instruction session to demonstrate to their students the importance of the library and its resources/services for research purposes. Faculty may also contact their subject liaison librarian directly to schedule a session. If you have any questions regarding this policy or Library Instruction sessions, please feel free to contact Stacy Russo, Coordinator of Information and Reference Services, at 532-7744 or russo@chapman.edu.
