Services available to faculty include our information literacy program, faculty librarian liaison program, course reserves, interlibrary loan (ILL), and support locating open educational resources (OER) for affordable learning.
Our Information Literacy Program page provides more in-depth detail about the program.
Use the Library Workshop Request form to schedule a time for a librarian to meet with your class to discuss research strategies and to demonstrate how to navigate library information resources.
Each academic area at Lander University is served by a faculty librarian as part of the liaison program. This program is meant to provide a personal connection to the library for faculty and students in each discipline. Librarians monitor the specific needs of their assigned areas and provide collection development, reference assistance, and information literacy instruction if requested.
Course reserve materials are any items that instructors would like set aside to support class instruction.
Reserve materials are kept behind the service desk and may be requested through a service desk worker. Reserve items are generally listed as 3-hour library use only. This means that the material may not be taken out of the library. However, some items have longer borrowing periods.
The borrowing period is set in place by the course instructor and will not be changed by library personnel unless permission is personally granted by the course instructor. Students are able to search the Library Catalog for Course Reserves with either the Course # or the Instructor's Name.
If you would like to add materials to our course reserves, please complete the Course Reserves Request form.
Interlibrary loan requests can be made through the Request Books and Request Articles pages on our website.
Review our Affordable Learning page for ways to incorporate Open Educational Resources and Library provided resources into your courses. If you need further assistance please contact your liaison librarian.
If you have a suggestion for a book, media or other information resources, please use the Suggest a Resource form to communicate with the librarians.
If you have general feedback about library services or the navigation of this website please let us know via our Online Suggestion box.
