Dear Colleague,

I hope this email finds you well in this stressful time! As promised, we have created a LibGuide for library instruction for English 110: https://qc-cuny.libguides.com/english110. This will also be linked as an announcement on our English 110 website for instructors. (This guide might also be helpful for teaching/reviewing research in other courses.)

The guide includes videos (with transcripts), detailed text-based guidance, three short research exercises tied to the learning objectives for each topic, and a chat box on every page that students can use to connect with a librarian. During the time of the instruction session as it was originally scheduled, the chat box will be staffed by the librarian originally assigned to the class during the time of the instruction session as it was originally scheduled. At other times (Mon-Thurs 11am-8pm and Sat/Sun 12-4pm) another librarian will be available to chat.

This is definitely a work in progress, and we will continue to make adjustments and improvements as we get a better sense of how students (and faculty!) engage with these materials. Please do let us know if there are changes we can make to better support English 110 instruction!

With all best wishes,
Leila.
