Instruction-a-Go-Go

Instruction Session in the Rare Book RoomThis past semester, RBMSCL librarians led over 90 instruction sessions with students from Duke University and beyond—including students taking courses on advertising history at Elon University and Johnson & Wales University.

One thought on “Instruction-a-Go-Go”

  1. That’s really impressive, I’m on the board of our local library and we have trouble pulling together just a few courses like these every year. Your Introduction to Old English course looks especially enticing, thanks for the inspiration!
