When adding links to library resources, you want to make sure these links are permanent and are accessible from off-campus. This information will help you create such links:
To access licensed resources from off-campus, the link must contain information that redirects the user through P.I.T.'s proxy server. To do this, place this proxy information in front of the permanent URL:
https://pit.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
The result will look like this:
https://pit.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A536243650/PPCJ?u=pl9014&sid=PPCJ&xid=56c3a77c
The Library can provide information literacy instruction to your classes that are online or hybrid. Contact Patrick Lyons (patrick.lyons@pit.edu) for more information or to schedule Library instruction for your course(s). The library can provide synchronous or asynchronous classes, instructional videos, and many other ways to teach your students the needed information literacy skills for your classes.
Session Basics
An instruction librarian from the P.I.T. Library conducts class sessions based on the research needs of your students. A successful session will:
Address a specific assignment at a point in the semester when your students are conducting research, increasing their motivation and learning
Include the faculty member, whose presence emphasizes the importance of the research instruction and enriches student learning
Be planned by the faculty member and the librarian together, in order best to suit the course content, the students' learning styles, and the tenor of the faculty member's instruction
Instruction librarians are also happy to visit your course to participate more informally in discussions about research.
The libraries' instruction program aligns with Information Literacy standards established by The Middle States Commission on Higher Education and The Association of College and Research Libraries.
