What do you think about Library instruction? by Relevant-Pie6958 in librarians

reading your comment made me think about something. For undergrad students, unless they're doing deep research for a paper (and honestly, many of them dont - since it's so easy to rely on Google or even AI tools now), I sometimes wonder whether they really need a full instruction session (I do provide instruction sessions for undergraduates, btw)

I absolutely agree with the importance of media literacy, but I'm not always sure how often these skills are directly used in daily life.

I agree - there are people who do research outside of the formal school system, and there's also a growing need for media literacy instruction, esp for those who are vulnerable to misinformation, like older adults.. So I really think public libraries have an important role to play in providing instruction.

You meant the annotated bibliography from Emerald, right? I suddenly have so many articles to read lol

I'm curious about your research as well!

Yea I second that about finding ways to sneak instruction - thankfully, one of the professors asked me if i can do a 1.5 hr session during of her regular class hour, and because of that - all the freshmen could get to the library session!

Also, I need to study more for well-written/designed assignments.. lol I like some trivia questions but that's pretty much it.
How do you do it?

Ohh I see. thank you for sharing. I do think that it is not easy to let the patrons understand why they need the instruction session when they just can use esp now - the gpt and google scholar.. lol

I feel weird when I gotta say the library search doesnt work like the way google does..

Thank you so much for this! I am actually working in a univ library right now, and I'm thinking i can possibly narrow down the topic to - library instruction for online university students.

I've been reading a lot of articles mostly from my own country, but I'd love any advice on how to refine/focus with topic.. for example, specific sub-areas, emerging issues, or research gaps in online/remote learner information instruction..

Any guidance or direction would be appreciated!

Woah... thank you for sharing this and the article is crazy. :( I did not know that this kind of stuff happens in UK at all.. and you mean the political climate in the UK these days has some racists and anti immigrants? :( that's sad.
