Consultation on Library-Related Assignments
Librarians will be happy to work with you to create a library assignment
that will fit into your class to help you reach your learning goals as
well as help fulfill the Information Literacy requirements of the QEP.
As you know, new sources and ways of accessing information replace old
ones every day, and sometimes we in the library have trouble keeping up
with the changes.
Please call John Lutzel at 64574 or drop by his office in the
library.
Help Locating Resources for Your Class
We
will be glad to work with you to identify sources in the library that
will support your library assignment. These could be materials the
library already owns, material to be purchased or borrowed, web sites,
etc.
Library Class Presentation
If
you would like to bring your class to the library for instruction before
they begin work on an assignment that requires using library resources
and materials, call John Lutzel at 64574. He will work with you to
design the workshop your students need to prepare them to successfully
complete your assignment. We have found through experience that on the
day of the presentation it is far more effective if you are there to
answer student’s questions concerning the assignment.

the circulation desk in the library.
Requesting Interlibrary Loans
You
may initiate your request to borrow materials through interlibrary loan
in two ways:
1. By completing and submitting an
online form, or
2.
By completing a print form found on the
circulation desk and giving it to the circulation staff person.
Note:
The library will not request materials that we own in our collection.
You may want to check our catalog for books or our electronic databases
for articles before submitting a request.
General Reference Help
Have a general question?
The librarians are glad to assist.
Putting
Material on Reserve
Allow at least one
week for the Library to process the reserve materials before notifying
your students. If there is a special need to have the items on reserve
sooner, please talk to the reserves staff member, Tonya Johnson at 6-4590.
Any book may be
placed on reserve, whether it is an OCTC book or your own copy. However,
the Library cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage of
personal copies (note: barcode stickers, etc. will be placed on items
and may not come off). Talk with a librarian about ordering a copy of a
book to be placed on reserve.
These guidelines
will be followed:
1. If
only one copy of an item is to be photocopied and placed on reserve,
then it is permissible to copy an entire article, an entire chapter from
a book, or an entire poem.
2.
The same photocopied
material cannot be used two semesters in succession.
3.
The material must contain a
notice of copyright.
4.
The effect of photocopying
the material for reserve should not be detrimental to the market for the
work. (In other words, the library should own a copy of the work if it
is in print and available for purchase.)
5.
Photocopies will be either
discarded or returned to the professor at the end of each semester.
6.
Only legitimate copies of
videotapes will be placed on reserve (Original recordings or those with
permission from copyright owner).
7. A fully
completed Reserve Request Form must accompany any material being placed
on reserve. This is for copyright compliance and statistics purposes.
There are three ways to obtain this form:
|
|
Print out
and complete a copy of the form and bring it to the library. |
|
|
Submit an
online request. |
|
|
Ask for a form
when you stop by the library circulation desk. |
Ordering
Videos or DVDs for Preview
Videos
or DVDs that cost over $100 must be previewed before they are purchased
by at least three faculty members if no reviews are available; less than
three are acceptable if reviews are available. If you have a video or
DVD you would like to request for purchase, send the request to Connie
Johnson in the Library. She will inquire to see if previewing is
allowed.
When
the material arrives, you will be notified. When you pick the material
up in the library, reviewing forms will be with the material along with
a date to have the material back to the library. When the material is
returned to the library with the forms completed, a final decision will
be made on the purchase.

incomplete request forms may delay processing of your request, so fill

in the designated drop off/pick up tub for your building.
All
materials to be copied MUST be in the tub BEFORE 10 am. Pick
up times will be between 10 am and 11 am; that is also when the previous
days copying will be delivered. All copy requests

Exceptions:

required. If materials are absolutely needed before the regular delivery times,
let Connie (ext# 64576) know and the materials will be placed with the front desk of
