Integrated library instruction for a hybrid dissertation seminar in health related sciences: a retrospective narrative
The health sciences librarian and data management librarian partnered with a health professions faculty member to develop integrated library instruction for a distance PhD dissertation seminar. The librarians employed a variety of best practices techniques for maximizing adult learning, adapted the course for each cohort, and maintained the librarians<b>'</b> presence in the course, even after the COVID-19 pandemic forced permanent changes in hybrid instruction. Feedback from faculty and cohorts is continuously sought, and library instructors are looking to future implications for library instruction with the advent of new technologies, such as affordable course content and generative artificial intelligence.
