Optimize Instruction with Learning Resources: Partner with a Librarian and Writing Tutor

This guide outlines the levels of service the Learning Resources Department offers to faculty and staff at the MDC Wolfson Campus.

Embedded librarians and embedded writing tutors work closely with teaching faculty in their courses, providing a library and writing tutoring resource to students throughout the entire course.  Librarians collaborate with instructors to assist students with assignments that utilize library resources and answer students’ questions regarding library materials. Writing tutors work with instructors to schedule writing tutoring support for students. This program seeks to create an integrated and sustained collaboration between teaching faculty, librarians, and writing tutors, in the classroom.
