When students are given assignments with specific information needs, they may turn to the library for help. The UNC Health Sciences Library developed three short online modules to teach first-year pharmacy students how to find early/animal studies, mechanism of action information, and specific study types in an effort to lessen demand on the reference desk. The modules filled two goals: to free up time that had been spent on three common low-level questions and to provide a pedagogically sound online tool to teach students how to find answers to these three questions. The modules were created using Adobe Captivate. Developing and promoting the modules took three hours of the pharmacy librarian's time compared with nearly 23 hours spent answering individual questions via e-mail, in consultations, and at the reference desk before the modules were introduced. After introducing the modules, only one student asked for help from the library compared to more than 60 who viewed the online modules at least once.
当学生被布置有特定信息需求的作业时，他们可能会向图书馆寻求帮助。北卡罗来纳大学健康科学图书馆开发了三个简短的在线模块，以教授一年级药学专业学生如何查找早期/动物研究、作用机制信息以及特定的研究类型，从而减少咨询台的需求。这些模块实现了两个目标：腾出花在三个常见低层次问题上的时间，并提供一个教学合理的在线工具，教授学生如何找到这三个问题的答案。这些模块是使用Adobe Captivate创建的。与在引入这些模块之前通过电子邮件、咨询和咨询台花费近23小时回答单个问题相比，开发和推广这些模块花费了药学图书馆员三个小时的时间。引入这些模块后，只有一名学生向图书馆寻求帮助，而至少浏览过一次在线模块的学生超过60名。
