Workshop: Streamline Your Teaching w/ CUNY Librarians
It can be exhausting when you’re trying to teach the course content that’s specific to your discipline, but you end up spending tons of class time with students just covering research paper basics (how to find sources that aren’t Wikipedia, how not to plagiarize those sources, etc etc). Your campus librarians can help!

We’ll be hearing more at the Purposeful Pedagogy conference this Friday, May 1st. One of the breakout sessions will feature four CUNY librarians, who will discuss how instructors can effectively collaborate with librarians in the classroom.
RSVP for the 2:45pm breakout session here. Here’s an updated description:
