Welcome to the Library Research Online Instruction Tutorial

The Library Research Online Instruction Tutorial is designed to help faculty embed information literacy curriculum and outcomes into their courses. Students who engage with the LROIT will develop and practice the information literacy and research skills necessary for success on their research assignments and future academic and personal endeavors. 

This module-based tutorial is designed with scaffolding and metacognition in mind and can be tailored and used by faculty as needed. Our library team recommends that faculty assign each module as students are working on the corresponding component of the research process for point of need learning and support. 

The best method for faculty to incorporate the LROIT into their courses is by embedding desired modules into their Blackboard courses. For instructions and assistance on how to do this, please contact librarians Matthew Raymond and/or Ellen Pratt. 

For a preview of an LROIT module, see the example below:
