Help from Librarians
Consultation on Library-Related Assignments
If you have an assignment that requires research or use of library resources, the librarians would love to see it before the students get it. Not only can we make sure our collection meets their needs, we might be able to show you some resources you might have missed or identify ones that have gone away or are in a different format.Help Locating Resources for Your Classes
If you have been using a research assignment for a while, you might want to look over our quick "Research Assignment Tune-Up."
The librarians are glad to help locate resources that would be useful for your classes. These can be materials the library already owns, material to be purchased, web sites, etc.
General Reference Help
Got a general question? The reference librarians are glad to assist.
Help with Plagiarism
The librarians have developed information to help you prevent and detect plagiarism.
Requesting Librarian Class Presentations
If you would like a librarian to give a presentation to your students on research skills and library resources, look at our request form. We usually try to give hands-on sessions in the library where students can work on actual assignments, but we are open to whatever meets your needs.
Distance Learning faculty can give librarians' e-mail addresses to students so we can offer personal service to them. The online study guides and tutorials are also available, of course.
Library Workshops, Study Guides, and Tutorials for Your Students
We offer:
- In-person workshops on information skills
- Free study guides in both print and web formats on specific library, research, and study skills topics
- Online tutorials on information skills
Useful Library Resources for Faculty
Education-Related Databases
While the Library buys few books aimed at faculty, we do subscribe to two databases that have excellent resources:
ERIC - the Educational Resource Information Center is supported by the U.S. Department of Education and others. Thousands of citations, summaries, and some full-text of reports and articles from over 1000 educational and education-related journals.
Professional Development Collection - Collection of over 500 full- text education journals, including nearly 350 peer-reviewed titles.
Requesting Library and Media Material
Faculty requests for books receive top priority. The staff welcome the opportunity to join with classroom faculty in developing collections. (As a rule, the Library does not purchase textbooks.)
Please consult the memorandum which is sent out to all faculty in the fall of each academic year for further information. Click on the list of subject bibliographers to find the person who selects material for your discipline. You can telephone, send a note or email the library liaison for your area.
Putting Material on Reserve
Faculty can put Library or personal materials on reserve at all campuses.
Requesting Interlibrary Loans
Books and copies of articles may be borrowed from other libraries.
