If you are on campus or teaching virtually, the library will give its all to support you, but the best way you can help us is to:
Avoid Printing (on-campus)
Please avoid requiring printed copies of syllabi, assignments, PowerPoint slides, etc. Allowing for 6 ft. social distancing means we will have fewer student computers and longer wait times at the library printers. Printing also requires the use of the touch-screen kiosk, which means constant sanitation after each student prints a document.
Make Smaller Groups (on-campus)
If possible, please consider smaller groups for projects or study sessions. Allowing for 6 ft. social distancing means only 2 students max at the group study tables.
Allow Extra Time
Allow for extra time to request books and articles from partner libraries through Interlibrary Loan. Remember that books and other materials will be quarantined for three days after being returned, so items may not be available as quickly.
Use Online Appointments and Zoom Lectures
Please urge your students to make an online appointment with a librarian as soon as they have research to do. Consider a Zoom library session for your online and in-person classes. We can provide these Zoom lectures live or recorded to be viewed at your students' convenience. Contact your Library Liaison for help.
