Authoritative reference sources, scholarly journals, plagiarism, and proper source citation: these are just a few of the topics we can cover in a library instruction session tailored for your course, assignment or project, and students' level of research expertise. Contact Gail Egbers at 535-8869, or submit this handy form and we'll get back to you.
If you don't need a full instruction session, but have a library-intensive assignment on your syllabus, let us know so we can best assist your students. Also, see our Guidelines for Successful Library Assignments and Guidelines for Successful Internet Assignments.
To put library materials on reserve, contact Janet Allan at 535-7175, or use this handy form. Check out our policies and guidelines, particularly our eReserves guidelines.
We add materials to the library collection in consultation with faculty. Each department or program has a Faculty Library Liaison with whom the subject librarian collaborates to develop the library collection. If you have a request for an item to be added to the collection, check our catalog to make sure we don't already have it, then inform your liaison. You can also submit a purchase suggestion directly to the library.
If you are a Faculty Library Liaison, log in here to check your library budget allocation and the status of your purchase requests.
