When the University of Maryland migrated to Primo in summer 2024, Teaching & Learning Services (TLS) saw this as an opportunity to redesign library instruction for ENGL101 students. This resulted in removing database demonstrations from instruction, replaced by a student-led, discussion-based lesson about our discovery system. In this session, we will discuss the process of revamping our library instruction lesson plan to match our new discovery tool's capabilities, examine the conversations we had with stakeholders, introducing the lesson plan to graduate students and faculty librarians, and how we re-evaluated our student engagement methods and our learning outcomes.
Participants will: 1. Design and apply an interactive, discussion-based framework to attendees’ existing lesson plans. 2. Evaluate existing library tools, lesson plans, and activities to determine how existing materials are supporting student learning outcomes. 3. Initiate conversations with library instruction stakeholders on updating instructional materials and tools.
