Welcome, TLU faculty! This guide includes:
A: Faculty, staff, or students can email librarian@tlu.edu or use the red Ask a Librarian button on the library website.
A: Contact Mark Dibble or Amelia Koford to arrange for course-integrated instruction sessions. These are also a great way for you to learn about TLU’s resources in your area! Instruction sessions can take place in the library instruction lab (20 student computers), in your classroom, or virtually.
A: First priority is given to materials that support the curriculum and academic programs of the university. Request forms can be found under the Make a Request link on the library website, or contact Mark Dibble or Dan Flores. Usually, we are able to fill request for one-time purchases such as books. For ongoing costs such as serials and subscriptions, we are only able to fill requests as money is available, but we encourage faculty to communicate with librarians about their needs.
A: Faculty can place physical items on reserve, including library books, professor’s personal books, copies of articles, games, and media.
The library does not provide electronic reserves. If you want students to use your eRacer page to access an article or ebook that the library has access to, follow the instructions here: http://bulldogs.tlu.edu/library > Help & Tutorials > Distance Learning for Faculty > To Link to a Library Resource within e-Racer
