Some services in place for your benefit:
AskZach - The library maintains an electronic reference service 24/7 available to all faculty and students. Questions about library resources and services are answered in a 24 hour turn around period. AskZach online.
E-Reserves - Please bring information to Peggy Miley in Access Services. She will scan your materials and post them under your name and course number for 24/7 access by your students from the library home page. Items like your class syllabus, assorted reading lists or articles are appropriate. Copyright restrictions are observed. Click here for the Reserves Entry Form.
instant Messaging Reference Services - Users are able to chat online with a reference librarian Monday-Thursday 1-5 regarding library resources.
How are we doing?
- We are routinely handing out brief assessment surveys for students and faculty to fill-out following each Bibliographic Session.
- From time to time the library posts "how are we doing" surveys on its home page to obtain input on a regular basis from the Georgia Southern community. Click here for the current survey. Focus groups formed for this purpose will be consulted as well.
Interlibrary Loan - All of you are acquainted with this service but did you know that:
books and videos are mailed to the faculty's campus offices. (Faculty who don't want this service can so indicate on the request form.) Material received in microform and anything marked "library use only" by the lending library will need to be used in Henderson Library - we contact you to come in and use it here. Take advantage of our electronic ILL form.
Faculty Book Delivery - Get library materials delivered right to your office.
New Titles List
At the bottom of the first screen of the online catalog is a New Titles option. You may search by LC Call numbers in your field/s and stipulate a time period - up to the last 5 weeks - to find out about the newest purchases in your discipline. Upon locating new titles of interest, you will find them ready and waiting for check out from the circulating collection. Of course new Reference titles must remain in the library for viewing.
Program Review Process
The library can help you through the Program Review Process by generating some of the statistical reports required of your department. For example, the library Systems Department headed by David Lowder (dlowder@georgiasouthern.edu) has the capability to run various programs on the number of titles in a given LC range relevant to your discipline/s.
