Subject librarians are connected to each academic program at ASU with the purpose of providing research and instructional support for faculty and students.

There are a variety of ways that Subject Librarians can support faculty who teach online as well as students participating in online courses:

Ways Subject Librarians Assist Faculty:

• Offer guidance on copyright and fair use

• Identify relevant library material supporting course assignments including research databases, e-books, open education resources, primary sources, or unique resources from ASU libraries’ special collections

• Provide assistance in developing permanent links to articles and e-books in Canvas

• Connect you with services for making ASU Libraries video content available in Canvas

• Recommend options for building and/or reinforcing research skills in assignments

Ways Subject Librarians Assist Students:

• Recommend strategies and resources for promoting academic integrity and effective citation practices

• Provide in-depth research assistance to students

• Create and customize Library Guides to help students find relevant information on their topic

• Provide guidance in use of citation management tools [e.g. RefWorks, Mendeley etc.]

• Develop online tutorials and other learning materials to boost research skills and knowledge
