Librarian as Teacher: Attending to students’ writing needs

TESOL-Ukraine: New Vistas of Research and Teaching. The 20th International TESOL-Ukraine Conference. 2015.
The primary claim of this proposal is that a university librarian, in addition to the book circulation function, can perform such roles as the instructional associate and teacher. The librarian’s expertise in summary, annotation, or synopsis writing is discussed in this paper. Also, the librarian is comprehensively knowledgeable about Fair Use policy and can provide apt instruction in how to correctly cite copyrighted materials. This expertise is regarded as what most students need before—through trial and error—they learn how to correctly perform their numerous written assignments.
