- Globetrotting Students and Faculty: Adapting Library Instruction to Global Sites Solis, Eimmy Perkins, Dan Library Instruction Academic Libraries Distance Education Instructional Design Outreach Programs Case Studies Web Based Instruction Research Needs Lesson Plans Synchronous Communication Asynchronous Communication Computer Mediated Communication Business Administration Education Economics Education Marketing Models As e-resources become more ubiquitous, and the technologies available to access them more sophisticated, libraries have greater opportunities to reach out to global users. However, this same distance means that some users never even set foot in a physical library. This case study will describe how one large academic library started a business, economics, and marketing library online instruction pilot for global users in an effort to replicate library instruction offered at the home institution. Librarians assessed global library use and research needs; prepared unique lesson plans for each global site; and created digital learning objects using synchronous and asynchronous methods to establish an instruction strategy for Business and Economics courses. The goal was to test instruction practices and develop an online instruction template that would be replicable and sustainable for library instruction in other subject areas in New York University Libraries and other institutions.
