Library Resources for Faculty: Library Instruction

Sample Lesson Plans

The lesson plans provided here have been designed with UDL in mind. They can all be used in face-to-face, hybrid, online, and hyflex teaching situations. 

This resource has been organized into specific folders to assist librarians and instructors in choosing and creating information literacy activities that best fit specific learning goals at an assignment, project, and course-level.
