The University Library is proud to support faculty in their teaching, research, and professional growth through a variety of development initiatives. We offer support for:

  • Creating transparent assignments
  • Integrating library resources into Canvas
  • Redesigning a course
  • Building information and AI literacy learning opportunities

Past Initiatives

Information Literacy Development Initiative  

Library faculty collaborated with instructors across disciplines to embed information literacy into the curriculum. In supporting assignment design, we help students develop critical research and evaluation skills tailored to your course goals.

AI Literacy Initiative

As artificial intelligence tools continue to impact higher education, the library has led workshops on integrating AI literacy into coursework. We support faculty in exploring ethical use, critical evaluation, and teaching strategies related to AI tools.
