Library Resources for Faculty

This guide includes information for faculty to use to more easily integrate library resources into their classes and some shortcuts to make your busy lives a little easier!

Who's Who in the Library

We are a small staff and it is unusual when we are all here at the same time.  You should feel comfortable approaching anyone with your questions or concerns.  If the person you are speaking with can't answer your concerns, they will refer you to the person who can.
