Since 2003, I have been participating in the CSI Library Instruction Program. I have taught many library instruction classes for students from various disciplines, inclduing nursing, psychology, english, education, and liberal arts. In 2004, I started to utilize Blackboard for library instruction, and designed my first online library course to extend a one-hour one-shot library orientation session for nursing students. Feedback from the students and faculty was positive, and an article I wrote titled "Resources in transcultural nursing: a library orientation program for nursing students" was published by the Journal of Multicultural Nursing and Health in its Summer 2005 issue. The article contains detailed description of the library orientation program and the design of the Blackboard course Website.
In addtion to nursing faculty, I have collaborated with professors teaching graduate education and liberal arts courses to integrate information literacy into the curriculum. Lbrary instruction components and course-specific resources were integrated seamlessly into the Blackboard courses of EDD 620 and LBS 770, and students received assistance not only from the course instructor, but also from me via discussion boards, email, and one-on-one consultation. Two articles were published describing the two librarian-faculty collaborative projects. One article entitled "Integrating information literacy into the graduate liberal arts curriculum: a faculty-librarian collaborative course model" was published in Public Services Quarterly in 2007. And the other article entitled “collaborating for information literacy” was published in Academic Exchange Quarterly in 2006.
