Liaison
librarians provide information literacy
instruction to a
variety of classes at both undergraduate and graduate
levels.
These librarians work with the teaching faculty to
develop course
integrated presentations and demonstrations geared to
teach
students how to find and evaluate information using
online and
print resources.
Course Reserves
Assigned Course Readings. Reserves makes
assigned course
readings available to students for short loan periods
(1 hour,
2 hours, 1 day, 2 days, or 7 days). Materials accepted
for placement
on Reserve include:
Electronic Reserves. Most articles and book
chapters
can be placed on Electronic Reserves; this permits
students
online access to course reserve material 24 hours a
day, 7 days
a week. Place heavily used material on Reserves to
ensure access
for all students.
For the quickest service faculty members may bring
their material
for placement on reserve to the Circulation Desk,
First Floor,
Library North. The Library will also retrieve books,
copy articles
and process requests submitted via Web Form. For
complete information
see the Faculty
Guide to Placing Materials on Reserve.
