Knowledge Practices and Dispositions for Learners
Research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions whose answers in turn develop additional questions or lines of inquiry in any field (ACRL, 2015).

Searching for information is often nonlinear and iterative, requiring the evaluation of a range of information sources and the mental flexibility to pursue alternate avenues as new understanding develops (ACRL, 2015).

Asynchronous library instruction is available for online summer sessions. Librarians will work with faculty to determine the best way to support your course with instructional videos and tutorials featuring use of library databases and general research.
Library instruction assessment is most often formative. For summer online library instruction, it may include: (1) feedback from the student (exit tickets) focused on their learning; (2) questions focused on how sessions have improved their understanding of and skills related to concepts presented; and (3) tutorial activities applying skills introduced during instruction.
Archer Library Guides are designed and developed by instruction librarians and library department liaisons. Consider a guide to support your course, a specific assignment, or general research.
