Peabody Library Research Channel: Faculty & Instructors: Welcome

Welcome to the Peabody Library Research Channel!

This guide has two purposes:

1. To help Peabody students navigate the research process and gain (or reinforce) skills that will prepare for university-level research.
2. To assist faculty in supporting the research needs of their students through self-paced and asynchronous learning materials.

How can faculty and instructors use this guide?

• Assign students to review certain sections of the Research Channel, such as reviewing the Research Process infographic or completing the research project outline template.
• Embed resources into your Brightspace course for easy access by students. You can link to the entire guide, or select specific content like this video on how to write a research question.
• Consider adding your departmental librarian to your Brightspace course with the role of "Subject Librarian." This allows the librarian to support students at their point of need - they can also create a discussion board for course-specific research questions and/or add instructional materials related to research skills.

In addition to the above, we always welcome you to have a librarian come and talk to your class about the Vanderbilt Libraries resources and services. Contact your departmental subject librarian to discuss options.

If you have any questions or would like to request new content added to the Research Channel, contact your departmental subject librarian (to the right)! You can also contact Melissa Mallon, Director of Peabody Library.
