Teaching Resources for New Librarians & Library Staff

Contact the Team

Instructors, want to add Library instruction to your course? Reach out to your subject librarian at UBCV or UBCO

 

Have we missed a resource or have general inquiries? Contact the TLT Team for support. 

Mentorship

New librarians can benefit from mentorship, shadowing, and/or peer feedback on teaching practices. There is a helpful community of UBC librarians with teaching expertise who are here to provide support. See the TLT Confluence page for more resources on Peer Instruction at UBC.

You can ask specific questions or set up mentorship or feedback opportunities by email through the Teaching Community of Practice listserv (lib-tlcop@lists.ubc.ca). You can also directly contact the co-chairs of the Teaching and Learning Team: you can find contact information for the current co-chairs on the TLT Confluence page.
