Selected Resources for Graduate Students in Plant Sciences (Agronomy, Horticulture) : Find Support for Your Teaching

Librarians regularly partner with faculty, instructional staff, and TA's to provide a variety of resources and services to support instruction.  We can create custom research guides for your course, help design assignments, and provide instruction on library resources - both in person and virtually. 

Please contact us at AskSEL@library.wisc.edu with any questions. We have provided links on this page to our course-related resources and services. 

The Libraries have several resources for instructors, including: 

Course Content Support: Physical materials can be placed on reserve for your course at College Library (main location).

Course guides: Will your students be doing projects or papers that require them to use library resources?  We can work with you to craft a course guide to introduce them to resources and information concepts that they can use for their research. 

Course-related instruction: Librarians can provide customized instructional sessions to meet the learning goals of your course's research assignment. This can take place in a library or in your regular classroom. 

Adding a Librarian to Canvas: Are you using the Canvas Learning Management System? If so, consider adding a Librarian to your course site for more efficient collaboration and participation with your students. 

Assignment Consultation: Well-designed, course-related library assignments are an effective way to introduce students to research. Librarians can consult on the information literacy goals of your assignment and make recommendations for ways to maximize the students' learning experiences. 

Here are some of the campus resources that can help you support your students: 

BioCommons: A place where bioscience students can think about their unique path, get inspired, find answers, cross boundaries, and build community.
