We hope you all have had a warm and restful winter break. We are reaching out today to remind and encourage you to schedule your library instruction for the upcoming semester 
Recently, we have noticed a greater need for library instruction and support from our student body. Whether students weren't taught formal researching skills in their high school, they are our ECA students who are finishing out their high school experiences at Miami, or they just aren't confident navigating our current information landscape (use of AI, mis/disinformation, etc.), students need assistance learning the ins and outs of academic researching.
We strongly encourage instructors with research assignments in their syllabi this semester to work with us in the Regional Campus Libraries. Together, we can ensure that your students receive the support they need as they learn about conducting academic research for the first time or need help strengthening these skills.
When you contact us here at the libraries, we will work with you to determine what services would best meet your course needs. We offer in-class instruction, virtual instruction, and embedded instruction to both in-person and online classes. We also have research guides that can be added to your Canvas courses that walk students through the library resources that are best suited to complete your research assignments. There are many ways that we can assist you and your students and more information about these services can be found on our website: Rentschler Library - Services for Faculty. or for Middletown: Faculty Services (Middletown): Teaching & Classroom Support.
If you are ready to schedule an instruction session for a class at the Hamilton campus, you can fill out a Library Instruction Request form or contact Mark Shores at Mark.Shores@miamiOH.edu. If you want to schedule a session for a class at the Middletown campus, reach out to John Burke at burkejj@miamiOH.edu.
We appreciate your time and look forward to collaborating with you for a great spring semester.
