Faculty Services: An Overview
Library Faculty Contacts
Faculty librarians are assigned to each program and subject area to represent
your interests. We are here to support class preparation and curriculum development,
and to help with teaching your students about information and scholarship in your
discipline. To consult with the librarian assigned to your area, see the Find
Your Librarian webpage.
Student Workshops
Librarians are available to provide research and information literacy workshops
geared toward your students' needs and assignments. Please contact the Library
Reference Desk at 587-5421. If you would like to teach a library session on your
own, please schedule your class on the Reference Desk calendar to prevent over-booking.
Your library faculty representative is also available to consult with you about
effective library assignments.
Reserves
College faculty may place readings and other materials on reserve in the library.
If you would like to provide this service to your students, please call: 587-4051
for print materials and 587-4053 for AV media. See the Place
Materials on Reserve webpage for details.
Online Databases
The Library Homepage at dept.sccd.ctc.edu/cclib/ provides links to a number
of excellent online resources. The Library Catalog is a full-featured online
database for searching and locating books, visual resources and other materials
within the three campus library collections. ProQuest Direct is a comprehensive
online periodical service with full-text coverage of numerous articles. The library
catalog and a variety of periodical and reference databases are accessible from
school networked computers and off-campus Internet connections. You must log in
with your college ID number for remote access to our online databases.
Professional Development
Each quarter librarians present workshops on resources, technology, and information
literacy issues which support teaching. Watch for the library workshops in the
Faculty Development Calendar issued each quarter by the District Faculty Development
office. If you need help learning a particular system or database, call the Reference
Desk at 587-5421.
AV Media Services
The library has an extensive collection of visual materials and sound recordings.
You can find titles in the library catalog, which allows for searches by type
of material, subject matter, and campus location. Media Services staff can assist
you in booking the delivery of audio-visual materials and equipment for your classes.
Call 587-4053.
Interlibrary Loan
College faculty have access to library collections all over the Northwest.
To help you with your research, the librarians at the Reference Desk can immediately
search the holdings of books, multimedia, and serials in Northwest area libraries
through the OCLC databases.
For University of Washington holdings, please connect directly to the UW Libraries
web site at http://www.lib.washington.edu/.
To explore the collections of other Puget Sound area libraries, visit our
Library Catalog, located on the web at library.sccd.ctc.edu/, and select the Search
Other Libraries link.
Seattle Public Library and the King County Library System will allow you to
place a hold on a title and send it to a local branch within their library system.
