Virtual Librarians are embedded in your online course, delivering announcements about research, databases, and citation
- Students are given multiple contacts options for help in each announcement, including our new 24/7 Ask a Librarian, help from real, live librarians!
- The announcement generally include an introduction, which may be followed by one or two more depending on the options you choose.
- In addition, the Virtual Librarian can add existing or customized content from any of our library guides or LibAnswers.
- Announcements are scheduled so you can see the content before it gets published to your students.
Just Let Us Know!
Just let us know, we do the work for you! Tech Ed does request that you supply the Corse ID number for set up. Example ENGL-1301-008IN-FA2024
Virtual Librarian Options
You can choose how many announcements from the Virtual Librarian you'd like for your students to receive:
- Option 1 Just the Introduction
We can limit to just an introduction announcement so students know where to go for research help, as well as other basic library information like hours and booking study rooms.
- Option 2 Introduction & Best Sources
We can limit to an Intro and a 2nd announcement on best sources for their course.
- Option 3 Introduction, Best Sources & Specific Aspect
We can send an Intro, 2nd announcement on best sources for their course and a 3rd announcement that is focused on a specific aspect of student research or presentation.
