Librarian as Teacher

Existing LIB Courses

If you are interested in teaching an existing LIB course, you will need to reach out to your unit head and chair to discuss how teaching the course will fit into your goals and work load.

Once you have their approval, you will reach out to the curriculum committee.

  • LIB 3010 - Introduction to Patent Searching
    1 Credits (1 Contact Hours)
  • Introduction to patents with an emphasis on how patents fit into the research process. Students develop skills in creating effective patent search strategies, and evaluating and presenting their search results.

You need to have gotten approval from your supervisor and your department chair.

Once the approval is granted, you need to reach out to Anne Grant as the registration coordinator (anne1@clemson.edu)

Existing Non-LIB Courses

If you are interested in teaching an existing course that is not in the LIB course code, you will need to reach out to your unit head and chair to discuss how teaching the course will fit into your goals and work load.

There are options to be considered for moving forward:

1. Dual Employment - Work on course would be done outside of normal duties and faculty would be paid an additional stipend from the hiring department. Teaching shows up automatically in DM so reflections would need to be included. Teaching would be considered for Merit Compensation. Teaching will be recognized for Tenure and Promotion.

2. Buy out of time - Work on course would take the place of selected normal duties and would be included in goals for the academic year in Digital Measures. Teaching will be recognized for Tenure and Promotion.

The Curriculum Committee would not be involved in this process.
