When the Temple University community returns from summer break, students will be attending classes from off-campus, and from locations well outside the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Luckily, even at this distance, all Temple students still have access to the incredible wealth of databases, eBooks, and streaming media available through the library. Now, more than ever, students can engage directly with the library staff who are positioned to guide them towards academic success.<\/p>\n
Temple librarians already provide specialized assistance to remote students with through our \u201cAsk a Librarian\u201d service<\/a>. We also offer in-class information literacy instruction to students enrolled in some online-only courses.<\/p>\n In order to extend library instruction to remote learners and faculty teaching online courses, Temple University Libraries is pleased to offer our first ever Virtual Learning Lunch Week on September 3rd-6th. Each session will consist of 20 minute long presentations, designed to jumpstart your use of various library services and resources, with additional time to ask the librarian your questions on the topic.<\/p>\n Sessions are open to the whole Temple community, no matter whether you are many miles away or right next-door. To attend, login to https:\/\/webex.temple.edu<\/a> with your AccessNetID and password. Click on \u201cLive Sessions\u201d under \u201cAttend a Session\u201d and look for the day\u2019s \u201cLibrary Virtual Learning Lunch\u201d. (Please note: first-time WebEx users should arrive a few minutes early to install the WebEx Add-On on their computer or the Cisco WebEx Meeting app on their mobile device.)<\/p>\n The event starts off with a Tuesday session designed to help faculty use the new Ares course reserve system, followed by one explaining the legal ins-and-outs of using video in both face-to-face and online classes. On Wednesday and Thursday, we continue with sessions fostering basic research skills and highlighting some of the useful databases and unique resources available at the library. Then, Friday sessions introduce both students and faculty to the streaming media available through the library, resources equally useful for research and leisure.<\/p>\n September 3rd<\/strong> When the Temple University community returns from summer break, students will be attending classes from off-campus, and from locations well outside the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
