Don't Forget Your Course Reserves...

If you haven't brought your course reserve items* to the library, now is the time to do it! We process items on a first come, first serve basis and to be sure the items are available for your students, we need them as soon as possible. (We do try and get the items processed in 48 hours or less.)

If it is something that you would like available to your students later in the semester, or if you have a late start or 2nd 8-week course, please bring your item(s) in a couple of weeks ahead of time so it can be processed. We are able to put library materials on reserve for short periods of time or for the entire semester.

Course reserves can be any item you would like to be put on reserve in the library for your students. It could be a textbook, supplemental readings, or even a DVD. The item will be available to students during regular library hours, for a two hour period - library use only (unless you note otherwise).

Students will need their Student ID to check the items out.

Of course, if there is anything else the library can help you with - just call us at 206-7267 or stop by!

Reserve Your Library Sessions Now!

DC Library Learning Studio
Welcome Back Everyone! We hope all had a great summer.

This is just a reminder that if you haven't already made your library session reservation for your class, to please do so soon. Our room is heavily requested and we would like to give faculty a chance to schedule their classes before we open it up to the other departments.

Remember, we can customize your library session to meet your needs - if fact, we love doing that so that the session is relevant to your students. We can do a short session of 15 minutes or an entire class period. We can do one session or a couple of sessions. (Of course, if we do a short session you can stay in the learning studio for the remaining portion of your class.) We can even do a library session in your classroom if you want. (If you don't have a computer classroom, we can bring some computers with us.)

If you are not familiar with our learning studio, it seats 40 students, has dual SmartBoards and writable walls. These features give us greater capability for interactive activities and collaboration. If you haven't seen our new room, feel free to stop by the library and we will show you around.

You can call the library at x7267 and we can set a session up for you. Faculty have priority until September 6th, when the learning studio calendar will be opened for other Downtown requests.
