Jenny and all--
After reading some of the replies Jenny received about this
request, I decided to send the list the suggestion I sent her.
At UC Berkeley, the Teaching Library does course-integrated web
instruction all the time. Most of the time, I use pieces of the online
tutorial the outline of which begins at:
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/FindInfo.html
We print them, have the class retrieve them, or, sometimes I
create a page especially for a class. An example of this is at:
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Engl195.html
I leave the pages like this, designed for students to use
throughout the year as they work on their senior theses, up and allow use
long after the class in which I explain how to use it and what's there.
I will also add to the page if I find appropriate links during the year.
It contains links which can provide students who need it all
kinds of help from advanced to elementary.
