Faculty Services
The library has a number of services to faculty. Further,
I am available provide individualized assitance to faculty
in my
areas.
Send me your recommendations for books and videos
I encourage you to e-mail your book and video requsts to me
at benedictoj@lanecc.edu.
Your suggestions enable me to learn your teaching and research
interests and develop a relevant and applicable collection.
Note: The library has a policy to not buy textbooks.
Place materials on reserve or e-reserves
To place materials on reserve, simply bring them into the
library and fill out the Instructor
Course Reserves form. Your material will be sent back
to you via Campus Mail. Alternatively, you can pick up your
items at any time.
You can also place articles, documents, or images on Electronic
Reserve. Electronic reserves are any print or electronic
materials that you wish to place aside for your students.
Originals can be in paper or electronic format; we process
it and place it on our computer system, and students can then
access and print it from school, home or anywhere they have
Internet access. This makes an electronic reserve a lot more
versatile than traditional in-library paper reserves.
Persistent Links
You can create stable URLs and place them on your online
syllabi. Further, when you e-mail search results from any
EBSCO database, persistent links to articles are automatically
included with the e-mail. Only authorized users can access
the articles: unauthenticated users are prompted with an error
message indicating that they do not have the proper access
rights for the article.
Example: How
to Love Your Job
- I did a search in the database and found a full-text article
on my topic
- I e-mailed the article to myself.
- The e-mail included the exact code used to place into
my Web document. All I had to do was cut and paste making
sure there were no spaces in the URL.
Library Instruction
Feel free to bring in your classes at any point in the
term for hands-on instruction. The Electronic Classroom seats
24. I can tailor these sessions for your particular needs
or provide a general library introduction. Classes may consist
of:
- Searching an online database
- Finding materials like book and videos in the library
catalog
- Borrowing from other libraries
- Evaluting material found on the Web
- General information about the Library (hours, services,
etc.)
You can request a class using our online library instruction request form.
New Books
The library keeps a listing
of new arrivals. To determine what's new in your area,
you'll need to determine your subject classification in the
Library
of Congress Classification scheme. If you are unable to
find your two letter designation, e-mail
me and I'll be happy to tell you.
Online Databases
I'm happy to make a trip to your office and demonstrate
how to use the databases in your subject area from your computer.
