For Faculty

The numbers are in: class visits from librarians make a difference. We asked students and, after a librarian's presentation, over 90 per cent of students at Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber said they were more aware of library resources and learned something new to help them succeed in their classes. 

Take advantage of our in-class workshops (both online and in person) and asynchronous resources to boost your students’ research and digital fluency skills.

• Browse workshop sessions by skill, learner level and delivery mode.
• Share our introductory Library Research Tutorial with your students.

Contact your librarian with any questions about scheduling a visit.

For Humber courses

At Humber, there are two ways to give your students easy access to course resources.

• Use the Leganto tool to integrate resources directly into Blackboard. This can include links to online articles and book chapters, streaming media, newspaper articles, digitized content, websites and more.
• Use our reserve service to place a four-hour loan restriction on physical items such as books, DVDs and CDs.

For University of Guelph-Humber courses

Visit the Guelph-Humber Course Reserves page to place Library items in reserve.

Introduce your students to the values and best practices of academic integrity with interactive learning modules. Be sure to link or embed the modules on your course site for easy access.

• For Humber students, use the instructor's guide to share the Academic Integrity and Citation Awareness Module.
• For University of Guelph-Humber students, share the Academic Integrity Module.

Want resources on specific citation styles for your students?

• Our bite-size APA in Minutes video series is great for quick tips on referencing and in-text citation.
• Our APA tip sheet covers the most common points of APA style.
• University of Guelph-Humber has complete guides on APA, MLA, AJP and Chicago style.

Created by librarians, our resource guides are helpful collections of related resources, tailored to specific courses, programs and subjects. 

Share them with your students on Blackboard or Courselink so they can dive into research at their own pace.

Our comprehensive suite of tutorials allows students to get help 24/7. Subjects include note-taking, searching databases and more.

All tutorials are AODA compliant and easy to share via Blackboard and Courselink.

Help us expand the Library Repository! We are open for submissions of scholarly work from Humber students.

Currently the collection features work from the following programs: Accounting, Game Programming, Industrial Design, Interior Design, Public Relations and User Experience.

For information on how your students can contribute, contact your librarian.

Take advantage of all the Library has to offer! We run hands-on faculty workshops on a variety of topics, from designing new courses to exploring alternative assignment formats to finding open-access resources.
