RESEARCH ASSIGNMENTS / RESERVESWe further encourage instructors to consult with their campus librarians in the design of research assignments. The librarians can determine whether the library has the resources necessary to meet the specific requirements of an assignment, and perhaps suggest print and electronic sources to enhance the students' learning experience. The librarians can also determine whether materials are limited to the extent that certain items should be placed on reserve. If you have an item or know of something in the library collection that you would like to place on reserve, please complete a reserves request form and submit it to your campus library.

WHAT TO DO IF WE DON'T HAVE WHAT YOU NEEDDo the libraries, or does the library Web site, lack something you and your students need? Just ask for it. We want to have the right books, journals, videos, CDs and more in the libraries, and we want the Web site to provide you with the online resources you need to support successful teaching and learning. Don't forget to check our new-books list regularly.
