Spring Semester 2008 is here! Please remember that the Library is here to help. A few things you might want to consider implementing into your courses:
Course Reserves
Place books or articles on reserve in the Library (or on the Library’s web site) so that they are available to your students. You can put required textbooks on reserve or optional reading. Just use the Course Reserves link located on the For Faculty page. If we don’t own a copy or you don’t have an extra personal copy, we’ll purchase one.
Embed the Library in your Oasis or other online course page!
Want to point your students directly to our proprietary business databases and other resources? I can send you a tailored widget that will showcase the resources you’d like your students to make use of for their assignments.
Link directly to articles from your Oasis or other online course page!
Avoid issues related to copyright and make your reading assignments seamless for your students by linking them directly to articles from newspapers, trade publications and popular and scholarly journals. Follow the instructions on this page or feel free to email me the citations and I will build the links for you.
Library instruction for your class
Have an in-depth assignment that you’d like the students to go “beyond Google” to complete? Consider scheduling an instruction session or contact me to discuss ways in which the Library can help. From company profiles to industry research to consumer demographics and beyond, we can help your students develop critical thinking and competitive intelligence research skills.
Assignment consultation
Don’t want to spend a whole class session in the Library but know that there are tools and resources that your students should be using for certain assignments? Contact me to discuss the assignment and how we can integrate some database and research instruction into it.
Questions about any of the above? Just 
!!!
There are many more ways that the Library can help support you and your students, so if you have questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. As the Library’s liaison to the AEMM department I am here to help connect you to the wealth of information available to you and your students through our books, videos, journals, research databases and other resources.
Good luck as we head into Spring ’08! I look forward to working with you—Celia
