Library Instruction Program

The KSU University Libraries' library instruction program contributes to student success through a variety of instruction techniques, such as, guest lectures, asynchronous learning materials, and course integrations. We provide students with guidance on developing appropriate lines of inquiry, source selection, searching strategies, professional and scholarly communication, as well as discipline-specific information.

For questions about classes contact the KSU University Libraries Assistant Director of Academic Engagement & Instruction, Kristina Clement, at kcleme19@kennesaw.edu.

We encourage you and your classes to participate in one of our two library orientations! You can choose between a live webinar (LOOP) or a series of asynchronous mini-modules (LEAP). In both orientations, students will learn how to search for books and academic articles, get help from librarians, and use our library services.

• Our live webinars will take place during your normally scheduled class meeting time via MS Teams throughout August and September. We ask that your students join the webinar as a class with one webinar facilitator per class
• Our asynchronous mini-modules can be embedded within your course D2L and students will receive an orientation completion certificate to document their participation. We recommend that students complete all four modules as a part of their orientation experience.
