Library Services for Faculty

• Basic Library Instruction session: overview of library resources and services.
• Advanced / discipline-specific session: in-depth instruction covering a specific topic or research methods specific to your discipline.
• Embedded Librarian: work with a librarian over the course of the semester to support student research activity and information literacy objectives in your course.
• Library tours

• Book a single research appointment with a librarian
• Request a librarian to serve as a research consultant for your student(s) over the semester.  This service is ideal for students completing research-intensive independent studies.

You can request:

• A video demonstrating how to use a database or explaining a research concept
• A LibGuide (online research guide) for your course or subject
• A widget to embed the library catalog search box or the Miller Library chat module into your Canvas course page

The library has the ability to purchase the right to use some streaming video and textual material for curricular use.

Contact University Librarian Samantha Johnson for assistance in obtaining the right to use protected material in your course.

Faculty can add current course materials to the library’s course reserves section.  Instructors may choose a check-out period of 3 hours, 3 days or 7 days.

Course reserve check-outs are limited to currently enrolled WNMU students. Miller Library does not purchase material for use as course reserves.  The library will not hold materials for courses that are not currently offered.

Library patrons may suggest titles for purchase.  All library purchases must conform to the library’s Collection Development parameters and is contingent on approval from the University Librarian.
