Two Thousand Students, One Librarian: Balancing Depth and Breadth of Library Instruction for Online Graduate Students

摘要

Many librarians struggle with how to balance scalable instructional offerings with more personalized instruction for online students-scale tends to come at the cost of personalization and vice versa. This paper will discuss three methods for connecting with online students that range from one-to-one personalization to widely scalable instruction: individual consultations, scaffolded instructional webinars, and asynchronous video tutorials. The student engagement with each type of instruction will be discussed, with ideas for future directions provided.
