Libraries

Over the course of the last year, the Library Instruction Team has revised its set of instructional handouts (about 200 total) and its tutorials (about 40 total) and moved them into the LibGuides content management space.  LibGuides provides for better indexing and retrieval of the learning materials, integration with library content outside the LI Team, and an efficient system for gathering assessment data about material usage.

The Library Instruction Department has added a new program to their plate of offerings: Classes on Demand. This new program features a variety of instructional classes sponsored by the WSU Libraries that allows small groups of Washington State University Pullman students, staff or faculty to request and schedule research workshops or productivity/social tools workshops taught by WSU librarians. Classes range from issues about Scholarly Communication to evaluating resources to social networking.
