The library at NYU Shanghai was about to begin its sixth year of providing library research workshops to Freshmen enrolled in foundational courses, and was challenged to quickly revise a familiar and successful information literacy program to meet the demands of this new fully-online environment. This paper details how the library used a SWOT Analysis to guide the decision-making process behind this transition. It then describes the resulting instruction program, which adopts a flipped classroom approach that incorporates online video modules, assessment tools, and a variety of synchronous and asynchronous instructional followup sessions.
