FLVC/PDA Series: Students Supporting Students: Facilitating a Peer Mentoring Program at the Library Online

Description: Students who have opportunities to learn from peers often find it less intimidating than asking for help from their instructor or from a librarian.

In this webinar, participants will learn about a peer mentoring program established at a small academic branch library at a large university to help students succeed in a challenging introductory biology course. Through a collaborative effort between librarians and course instructors, the peer mentoring program facilitates a supportive study environment that draws students into the library and synergizes with the librarian-led one-shot instruction that also takes place in the course.
