Faculty Resources
The library staff looks forward to partnering with faculty for student success. Please take advantage of the services and resources we offer:
Library Instruction
The library can customize an instruction session to meet the needs of your students, whether they need a general introduction to the library catalog and databases or more in-depth research strategies to help them succeed.
We request that you schedule instruction at least 1 week prior to the class time and confer with a librarian about specific content. Information literacy instruction is most effective when it immediately precedes or coincides with a class assignment. Please note that the instructor must accompany and remain with his or her class.
To schedule instruction, submit a session request.
Library Resource Guides
Library Guides, or "LibGuides," are handy online guides to help our students find reliable, authoritative sources. They provide easy access to topic-specific databases, web links, and book lists, including e-books. In addition, the guides contain links and tutorials for basic library resources like IUCAT, ILLiad (Interlibrary loan), Writing & Citing, and our 24/7 reference services “Ask Us” and LibAnswers. Organized access is especially important for distance education students since stopping in to the library for help is often not an option.
To request a libguide, email liblearn@iue.edu or contact Lajmar Anderson at 765-973-8434.

New Degree or Course Proposal Form
When you wish to create a new course or degree program, our job is to make sure the library has the resources to support your students' research. Please help us by filling out a New Degree/Course Proposal Library Form and submitting it to your Library Liaison or to the Library Director, Frances Yates.
Librarians by Academic Liaison Responsibility
If you have questions or concerns, you can always ask for help. Each of our librarians have specific areas of expertise. Please choose the librarian whose area is the most similar to your question.
