When librarians and faculty members collaborate on
library assignments, they help ensure that the student will
have a successful learning experience. Consultations lead to
the following positive outcomes:
- Make certain that the information required by the assignment
can be found through the Library's online catalog or other
resources available in the library.
- Confirm that specific resources listed on the assignment
are available in the Library.
- Recommend that certain items be placed on reserve in the
Circulation Department if library resources on the subject
are limited ( for example, if the library owns only one copy
of a resource specifically required by an assignment).
- Reduce anxiety and frustration often associated with library
use.
- Allow sufficient time for the library to acquire additional
resources recommended for purchase.
To make arrangements for consultation with a reference
librarian, contact the Reference Desk at
