New Faculty Orientation

How can the Library help you in your teaching and research needs? This guide will quickly walk you through the most relevant Library services which you might need as a new faculty member.

Each faculty has a Library Liaison. Contact them if you have any questions or requests about library resources and services. Our Library Liaisons are also very happy to offer you an information session or a library tour!

Placing Materials on Reserve

Contact me or your library liaison to place materials on physical or electronic reserve for your class.

Suggest a Purchase

Submit your recommendations for books, journals, and audio-visual materials to your library liaison if you wish any of them to be included in our Library Collections.
