Some NUR 370 students might want proof that they've contacted a librarian

Hi all,

A student in Nida Mullins' NUR 370 class thought that her instructor needed proof that she'd contacted a librarian for help.  Nida followed up to let me know that her students are required to work with the writing center, not the library.

But other students might have this same expectation. 

If a UNCG nursing student tells you that they're required to give proof to their instructor that they've contacted a librarian or the library  -
  • Chats - Email the transcript of your chat conversation to the student.  Tell the student to look in their spam folder for message, then send it to their instructor.
  • Phone contact  - Email me the student's name and email address, how they contacted the library, also please the instructor's name, email and course number for which they need to prove library contact.  Please be aware that I'm typically available Mon-Fri 9 a-2p, so a student trying to get word to their instructor at the last minute might have a delay.
  • Walk in patron - highly unlikely, Nida's section doesn't meet in Greensboro, handle as mentioned above for phone

Also, no worries about your status as librarian/intern/MIS degree or not - and thank you for representing the library and helping patrons :)

Thanks,
Lea
