Instruction Request Intake Form

Librarians have found much better pedagogical outcomes when students have had a couple of weeks to get oriented with a course's syllabus and expectations prior to library instruction. They can better appreciate the role of library instruction and its impact on course success once they have settled into the semester. For that reason, we will not schedule library instruction sessions during the first two weeks of the semester with rare exceptions.

A two-week advance notice is greatly appreciated (and necessary) to best accommodate instruction requests, especially if you would like a recording. Please take that into consideration when planning library instruction, and thank you for your understanding.

If these requirements do not work for you, we have a number of other options that might help you and your students, including:

our Introduction to Research at the NEIU Libraries guide
multiple videos that could be embedded into D2L on the NEIU Libraries YouTube channel
standalone 1-on-1 research consultations with a subject librarian
immediate chat help or in-person reference desk availability for quick questions

Please complete the following form, and an NEIU librarian will be in touch with you to plan and schedule the session. We look forward to working with you and your students.

After the group instruction session, would you like students to individually schedule virtual one-on-one appointments (typically 15-45 minutes in length) with the librarian to receive more in-depth research help?*

No, I don't anticipate that students will have any remaining research questions after the session.Yes, I will encourage students to schedule one-on-one appointments with the librarian after the session.Yes, I will offer students extra credit for scheduling one-on-one appointments with the librarian after the session.Yes, I will require that students schedule one-on-one appointments with the librarian after the session.

If you have a copy of the assignment (either the file itself or a photo) and/or the syllabus, please upload those here. It is very helpful to see the specific requirements students are being asked to meet.
