Library Teaching Support

Service

Collaborate with Erickson Library staff to integrate the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education into curriculum. Instruction sessions are developed around research assignments. Library staff can assist in the development of research assignments for both campus and online courses.

Whether you’d like a presentation, student instruction, or a “pop-up” library–where we bring library materials to students in your classroom–we can make it happen.

Course Reserves

Service

Instructors may place course materials at the Circulation Desk for students to access for short term check out. This is most helpful for students who may not be able to purchase textbooks or who forget them at home and want to read ahead. Most loan periods are two-hours. To temporarily house your materials with the library, drop off your materials along with a completed Reserve Request form. The materials are still yours and you determine how long you want them in Course Reserves.

The librarian at Lake Superior College is a skilled information professional who can answer your reference questions, assist with complex research and locate academic resources for you. Stop by the Reference Desk, call (218) 733-5912, or email .

Assignments

Service

Perhaps the most valuable resource of any library are the people who can assist you in finding and providing the resources and information you need.

If you have an assignment that requires research or use of library resources, a faculty librarian is available to review it for ways to integrate resources to support your students’ learning.

The librarian is glad to help locate resources that would be useful for your classes. These can be materials the library already owns, material to be purchased, web sites, etc.
