Number of Sessions

In 2021-2022, RIO librarians taught 242 one-shot instruction sessions.
Numbers are bouncing back after a pandemic-related dip. Instruction librarians at several other institutions have reported similar dips to the instruction coordinator.
Numbers may also be lower due to several faculty transitions, fewer summer programs, and offering fewer technology workshops during COVID.

Number of LIB Sections

In 2021-2022, ZSR librarians taught 43 sections of LIB courses, a steady increase over the past six years. This can be attributed to:

The hiring of an additional instruction librarian, which increased our capacity to teach more LIB100 courses.
Increased numbers of LIB200+ courses taught by subject specialists.
More sections of LIB courses being taught in the summer.

Number of Students Taught

With increased capacity we now reach 606 students per academic year with our credit courses. Our LIB courses in the 2021-2022 academic year were 97.0% full, which aligns with our annual average of 97.2%.

Roughly 40% of Wake’s student population takes a library course during their tenure at WFU.

Info Lit Workshops for Faculty

RIO hosted two separate three-day information literacy workshops for faculty teaching first year courses in August 2021 and May 2022.
We had 23 faculty participants
Faculty received a $750 stipend for attending, funded by the Dean’s Innovation Fund and the Provost’s Office
Post-workshop surveys were used to assess the workshops’ effectiveness and make revisions. The surveys indicated that faculty were generally satisfied with the content of the workshop and would recommend it to other faculty.
