Bring the Library into your Classroom!
In keeping with the college's mission of teaching, research and service, the Gingrich Library offers several opportunities for faculty members to enhance their teaching. See descriptions below to start thinking about how the library can help you, then contact your liaison for more information.
General Information | Research Services
Reserve Materials
You can ensure that course materials are always available for your students by placing them on reserve. Planning on a 2 day window between the time you place materials on reserve and the time you assign them in class will help us serve your students more effectively. Instructions and procedures for using the reserve service are available online.
Please contact Pat Delewski (610) 921-7220 from 8am-4:30pm daily if you have any questions.
Blackboard Training
The Library provides training and assistance for any faculty member who is interested in creating and sustaining a Blackboard.com web site to supplement their regular class work. You can request Blackboard training or the creation of a site for a day class or an accelerated degree class online. Contact George Missonis (610-921-7203) or Rosemary Deegan (610-921-7202) for more information. Handouts and a web based training program for students are available at our Blackboard Assistance web page.
