Collaborate and Partner with Us
Through meaningful connection with campus curricula, we identify programmatic approaches to scaffold our information literacy instruction, creating unique, targeted, and relevant pedagogical experiences to meet the needs of learners at the appropriate time and level.
In collaboration with instructors, we engage in curriculum development to design assignments, learning experiences, and courses that align with information literacy and disciplinary learning. We focus on best practices for engaging students in research as an iterative process, positioning them as not just consumers of information but also as critics and creators.
Who We Are & What We Teach
Our Teaching Partnerships department can help you meet your teaching and learning goals.
Class Instruction
We partner with instructors to determine the best ways to integrate information literacy and critical thinking skills into a course:
- In-person or virtual instruction by a librarian
- Customized digital learning resources (e.g., tutorials, videos, online guides)
- Course-embedded librarian role in Canvas
- Hands-on learning opportunities for students through collaboration with Archives & Special Collections
- Librarian as co-instructor for a course
We work closely with the Center for Transformative Teaching department.

- Position students not only as consumers or users of information but importantly also as critics and creators
- Incorporate critical engagement with technology and computer application skills
- Scaffold student learning about research and information processes
- Integrate with course-management systems
- Research assignment design consultations
High School Program
The UNL Libraries High School Program provides the opportunity for Nebraska and regional high school students to access and experience college-level research using the library and collections of a major research institution.
We work with high school teachers, librarians, and media specialists to arrange campus research visits.
