Library Instruction

More than half the student body at Carlow receives library instruction on an annual basis primarily through library instruction classes taught for the CC100 and CC101 courses.  

Additional, assignment-specific, library instruction sessions for your students can be arranged by calling Elaine Misko at 412-578-6137 or emailing miskoej@carlow.edu

The library instruction classes will be geared specifically to help your students with a particular research assignment. For classes that are under 22 students, the library instruction class will be taught in Grace Library 241A.

Off Campus Access

Ordering Materials for Grace Library and Liaison System

The library maintains a close working relationship with the Faculty through the Library Liaison System.  Each academic department has a Faculty Library Liaison to coordinate the ordering of library materials (books and videos), library communication and library instruction.  The Grace Library holdings closely reflect the curriculum and are built through the joint effort of the Faculty and Librarian Liaisons.  Comments and recommendations are always welcome from any interested Faculty member. Faculty may also request CD-ROMs and videos in addition to book titles for the collection.

For more information regarding the ordering library materials, contact the Coordinator for Technical Services, Karen Goldbach.

Renewing Materials

You may renew by telephone (412-578-6139) by dictating the barcode numbers (outside cover, upper left) on the books to the desk attendant or using the "My Account" feature in the Library online catalog .

Reserves

Faculty may place library books, videos, periodical articles or personal material on reserve for their courses. 

There is a short delay for processing before items placed on reserve are ready for student use; therefore, faculty are encouraged to bring their material in as soon as possible before the semester starts.

The Class Reserve Form (faculty need to only fill out the top section of the Class Reserve Form) along with the materials to be placed on reserve should be dropped off at the circulation desk.  The types of reserve are: library use only, 1 day, 3 day or 7 day. 

See the Electronic Reserves page for more information regarding electronic reserves.
