instructors have taught credit classeswhile some classes are co-taught by multiple librarians or as a librarian and faculty memberteam. For the workshops and other shorter instruction sessions, instructors are chosen for thetopic that is being taught. There are even cases of the material being made available online via aYouTube. So, not only are the types of instruction variable, there are also multiple methodsinstructors can utilize to teach a session.This paper presents a collaborative interdisciplinary approach to RDM instruction using currentliterature and the authors’ insight on their own recent course.

pinpoint key resources for the discipline. It might be particularly instructive to obtain a list of peer institutions from library management as checking the guides created at these institutions can be particularly instructive. • When creating class-specific workshops, reading the class description from the university course catalog, or requesting a syllabus from the course professor can be very instructive. Often topics gleaned from such documents can result in meaningful test searches to perform for the classes in question. • A discussion with the professor regarding expectations is also key.
