TREC Faculty may contact Dawn and Robin for:
- Research instruction (in-person)* - TREC instructors may request librarians for how-to research demonstrations using Ebsco related to a specific course-assignment. For example, librarians can demonstrate search strategies students can apply on their own to locate, request full-text articles and cite sources using Ebsco (Orijin) databases on their tablets.
*We will do our best to accommodate research instruction requests based on our availability and schedule.
In the event we are not able to provide in-person research instruction, librarians are glad to arrange alternatives such as:
- Meeting one-on-on with students for research consultations during Learning Labs
- Producing video tutorials and handouts for instructors to upload onto D2L Orijin to share with their classes (see options below)
How to book a librarian for in-person research instruction:
Email either Robin (Faribault), robin.gee@metrostate.edu or Dawn (Lino Lakes), dawn.wing@metrostate.edu at least three weeks in advance of your preferred date(s) of visit.
In your email booking, please also include:
- An attachment or description of the actual assignment posted to students
- A list of " top 3" preferred dates for research instruction
- Other pertinent information to help librarians tailor presentations to your students' academic needs.
- Referring students for one-on-one, in-person research consultations during Learning Labs. Please check in with either Robin (Faribault) or Dawn (Lino Lakes) in advance to confirm our specific Learning Lab visitation dates by facility.
- Connecting with students via Orijin D2L to provide individual research help and library resources for course assignments
- Producing online video tutorials and/or PDF handouts on developing search strategies, evaluating/citing sources, etc.
- Troubleshooting any issues with using Metro State library resources
Important note: Metro State librarians do not handle streaming media requests from TREC faculty or students.
