Welcome Back, Ship Faculty!

Welcome back, Ship Faculty! We know you're working hard to get ready for the fall semester. Below are several services the library can offer to you and your students.

Instruction
If you'll be assigning a research project to your students, consider scheduling an instruction session with a librarian. Librarians can meet with your classes to discuss the research process, explain how to effectively use library databases and resources, review how to properly cite sources, and more. Our newest librarian, Josefine Smith, will be coordinating the scheduling of library instruction sessions for the 2017-2018 academic year. To set up a library instruction session, contact Josefine (jmsmith@ship.edu). Or click here to find the library liaison to your department, and reach out to her/him directly.

Research Consultations
Librarians are available to meet with your students individually for one-on-one research consultation appointments. If students need help broadening or narrowing a topic, finding appropriate sources, or citing sources correctly, you may encourage them to set up an appointment with a librarian. This service has been heavily used by students in upper level courses in previous semesters.

Course Reserves
You may want to make reading materials available to your students through our course reserves system, Ares. Click here to learn more about Ares. If you have questions about reserves, or experience issues with Ares, the Circulation staff will be able to assist you (libcirc@ship.edu / 717-477-1461).

Book Orders
To request materials for the library collection, use GOBI. The GOBI ordering process is outlined in the GOBI quick start guide. If you have a question regarding GOBI orders, contact Nicole Zinn (ndzinn@ship.edu) in Collection Management.

We hope you have a great semester, and we look forward to working with you!

Library Course Reserves Update

Improvements to Library Reserves!

Everyone logs on to Library Course Reserves here:

Professors! Library Course Reserves have changed a little from last year. The library has put together a Guide covering eReserves for Faculty:
http://research.library.ship.edu/reserves-faculty

Long story short:

• Library Course Reserves uses the same software as last year (Ares) *but* Ares does not integrate with Desire 2 Learn (D2L)
• Professors create their own Class(es) in Ares
• If you used Library Reserves through Ares last year, you may be able to "Clone" your previous Class information into the new semester (see the eReserves for Faculty Guide)
• If you need a completely new Class, you may create your own class (see the Guide)
• Students find their Class(es) and Add them to their eReserves Profile
