Library Services for Faculty

• Library/Faculty Liaison Program

  The liaison program pairs a librarian with each academic department or program to facilitate the selection of library materials, inform faculty about new library resources and services, and assist them with their instructional needs.

• Research Instruction

  We offer practical instructional sessions for classes and individual consultations for students. Research Skills for L&C Students lists the necessary skills that students should acquire by the time they graduate.

• Request Materials for Purchase

  Requests from faculty members are a major source for building the library collection.

  Course reserve service provides controlled, ready access to materials required for Lewis & Clark classes. Many items, such as journal articles, book chapters, and audio selections, are made available through electronic reserve.

• Borrowing Privileges

  Faculty and staff may keep books checked out from Watzek Library until the end of the semester, audio-visual materials for 14 days and periodicals for 2 days. Materials may also be borrowed through Summit, although different rules apply.

  Interlibrary Loan (ILL) provides access to materials not available at Watzek or through Summit.
