Our Research & Instruction Services Department can assist faculty in searching for obscure or hard to find information as well as literature reviews. The library is a great place to work on scholarly publishing pursuits as you have a variety of resources, both human and informational, close at hand. Room 236 is available for faculty to reserve if you need a more private research space. For research assistance, please contact the Access & Instruction Desk or schedule a research consultation.
Students may schedule research consultations with a librarian to discuss a research topic, outline a research strategy, obtain assistance in finding resources, learn the use of proper citation style, and avoid plagiarism. Research consultations are scheduled at a time that is convenient for both the researcher and the librarian and are available weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

Books, media and other material requested from the library can be placed on the faculty hold shelf at the Access & Instruction Desk. Books can be ordered with a "notify" slip and once the library receives the book, the faculty member will be notified and the book placed on the faculty hold shelf.
