Abstract
Abstract Online tutorials that provide flexible and up-to-date information on library resources and research concepts are a vital service in academic libraries. At the University of North Carolina Greensboro, librarians created a platform providing multiple options for creation and delivery of virtual and interactive tutorials. At this University, the tutorials are useful to train patrons on a variety of research concepts. When the COVID-19 pandemic began to impact courses, this already established workflow and set of library research modules was able to assist librarians with the increasing demand for asynchronous online information literacy instruction.
期刊介绍:
Public Services Quarterly covers a broad spectrum of public service issues in academic libraries, presenting practical strategies for implementing new initiatives and research-based insights into effective practices. The journal publishes research-based and theoretical articles as well as case studies that advance the understanding of public services, including reference and research assistance, information literacy instruction, access and delivery services, and other services to patrons. Articles may examine creative ways to use technology to assist students and faculty. Practice-based articles should be thoroughly grounded in the literature and should situate the work done in one library into the larger context of the situation.
