Faculty Toolkit

Supporting Your Scholarship

• Library Orientation: Stop by and learn about all the resources you and your students need to know. Teaching online? Schedule a webcam chat, and we’ll take you on a virtual tour. 
• Find a PDF: If you have a DOI, Direct Object Identifier, or PMID, simply enter it and access your article in full text. When articles are not available, you will be presented with an Interlibrary Loan form. 
• Document Delivery: Looking for information to support your research and grant writing? We can provide it through Document Delivery, or borrow it from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). 
• Research Consultations: The library provides one-on-one research assistance for faculty and staff. Your department’s library liaisons are here to help you locate and access research materials, identify publication venues for your articles, and more. 
• Assistance with Grant-Funded Research: The library is an active participant in supporting the university and its researchers.

Supporting Your Teaching

• Resource Recommendations: Are we missing important work in your field, or required text for your students? Help us build our collection! You can recommend the purchase of library materials.
• Information Literacy Sessions: Want to improve the quality of your students’ research? Bring them in for an instruction session tailored to the course focus and the assigned research project.
• Student Research Consultations: Assign students a library visit on their own time, and we’ll work with you to make sure they get all the information they need. 
• Guides: With as little as a detailed syllabus, we can create and maintain a course, subject, or topic guide that will be available to you and your students semester after semester. 
• Video Tutorials: We’ve prepared short videos to guide your students. Insert them into your courses. We are also happy to create a video just for you!

Course Reserves

Special items, journal articles, books, and personal copies to be used for particular courses may be placed in the Reserve Collections of any New Tech’s libraries or scanned as E-Reserves. Current editions of major texts for courses will be held on reserve, where possible, each semester.

Course reserves can be made available to students in two ways:

• Electronic Reserves (e-Reserves): Journal articles, book chapters/selections, course notes, or other materials can be placed on electronic reserve. The library will provide a URL to share with your students.
• Print Reserves: Faculty can place materials on print reserve. Personal copies, individual articles, items on reserve for multiple classes, or high-use materials are recommended for print reserves.
