Teaching & Research Instruction

Librarians at Olin Library are available to assist and support your research, teaching, and scholarship. Each librarian serves as a liaison to an academic department, and can provide discipline-specific consultation and tailor resources to faculty and students.

Curated Research Guides for Your Department or Course

Created by your Librarians, these guides include links to quality and curated resources to support your students in their writing and research projects. Librarians can create guides specific to your courses or take any edit suggestions to available Subject Research Guides.

You can add these to your Canvas courses and course syllabi.

Library Research Instruction

Your librarians are available to teach a research session to your students on utilizing the library’s resources and services, critical thinking and information literacy competencies. The session can be tailored to meet the learning outcomes of your assignment.

Open Educational Resources

According to the OER Commons, Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching materials that are freely accessible and used without charge, because the creator of the materials chooses to retain few, if any, ownership rights. Educators around the world are tapping into OER as a cost-saving source of curriculum, and because of the opportunity it provides for the support of learning in a flexible and equitable environment.

The Olin Library offers two OER grants for current Rollins faculty and instructors, which will be reviewed by the Olin Library OER Group.
