Online Instruction Recommendations for Librarians: Home

Who is this guide for?

This guide is designed for Instruction Librarians at UCSB. In response to the Chancellor's guidelines to institute remote instruction for the Spring quarter 2020, the Library Instruction Team and the Teaching & Learning Department have constructed this resource to aid librarians in providing instructional support to students using online technologies both synchronously and asynchronously. 

The guide includes recommendations for: 

Live (Synchronous) Lectures

Recorded (Asynchronous) Lectures

Monitored Discussion Forums

Embedding Library Chat in GauchoSpace

Information Literacy Tutorials

Tech Tools

This homepage also includes resources from across campus that can be used to help you teach online as well as information sources about how the campus is responding to COVID-19.
