I am in a similar situation. I'm a subject liaison that conducts research workshops for intro engineering technology classes. I also lead a couple of technology related workshops for faculty a couple times a semester. That's about as much instruction as I do.
We usually have a template that we cover for all courses, then we have more specific things to go over such as particular databases/subject guides. I do mention our media collection, but we have a limited collection that would be useful for technology students. I also do media selections for all disciplines. Hope that helps!

All librarians have subject liaison areas. We therefore all do research-type instruction with our liaison areas. As the media librarian, I do media selection for all subject areas, but as the public services librarian, I have 4 departments that I do the liaison with, and that includes instruction. This is normally 1-hour sessions, on request of the instructor, often addressing specific assignments or specific resources. I have done some one-off sessions on copyright and multimedia for other courses, not in my liaison area, but these are infrequent.
