Library Services for Faculty

The library welcomes faculty feedback, participation, and collaboration in support of student success. Services to faculty that further that goal are outlined in this guide. Have an idea for a new service? Contact the librarians for assistance; we are happy to help.

Many classes have assignments that require the students to locate reliable sources of information. Students often assume this information will be easy to locate on the web. If that assumption proves incorrect, librarians and library staff are ready to help them find what they need to meet the requirements of the assignment, whether in the library or on the internet. Below is some data showing the extent of library support for students:

• Eureka and Del Norte libraries have over 95K books, eBooks, DVDs, and other items that can be borrowed, including headphones, flash drives, calculators, laptops, study roooms
• Library patrons borrow about 2K items per month

• People come in and out of the Eureka Library at the rate of 30-50K per month. (10-15K in summer and breaks)
