L&T: For Academic Staff

Library Learning & Teaching

UCC Library plays an important role in promoting excellence in learning and teaching in UCC. The Library’s services in the area of Digital & Information Literacy align with UCC’s connected curriculum and graduate attributes enabling our users to develop as independent, lifelong learners.

This happens in a number of ways:

• Embedded/in-class teaching: Targeted teaching in-person and online, embedded within course programmes and modules. The Library Learning and Teaching Team can work with you to plan and deliver Library instruction and information literacy workshops for your students at all levels, tailored to support your students’ learning and assessment requirements. Please fill in this short form to tell us the details of your programme and support requirements.
• Open workshops: sessions and workshops running throughout the year that are open to all. Details can be found here on the Library website.
• CANVAS modules: Asynchronous learning opportunities, on the Canvas platform. These self-directed modules, provided by UCC Library, are available for any UCC student who wishes to self-enrol.
• Specialist classes: provided by a variety of teams across the Library, including digital learning opportunities offered by the team in the Digital Scholarship Studio.
• PG6009 ‘Graduate information Literacy’: aimed at PhD and MRes students, this is a 5-credit module that UCC Library has delivered for several years.

UCC Library provides a reading list service using Keylinks software, that will give students direct access to course readings via Canvas. For further information see here.

The Library is offering a digitised course readings service from the Digital Content Store (DCS) whereby academic staff can request copyright compliant scans of chapters of books and journal articles which can be uploaded to the DCS and accessed by students from a link in Canvas.
