The Windward Community College Library offers specific services to faculty teaching. Here is a short list of some of the basic ones. We are also available for other projects, so contact us if you have an idea.

Note that if you plan to send students to the Library with an assignment, please consult with a librarian at least a week in advance to ensure that the best resources are available to meet your students’ needs.

The library offers several class presentations that can be tailored to your specific courses. Class sessions are designed to help students make good use of high-quality information sources.

• Narrowing Topics: how to get from a huge topic to a manageable paper
• Evaluating Resources: from the Tabloids to Academic Journals, and everywhere in between
• Special Topics in our Collection: introduce students to key reference and general print materials and online resources for their class.

contact Tara Severns, 235-7440, to arrange a presentation

With two weeks advanced notice, you may schedule class use of films and videos from the WCC library andother UH libraries by contacting Trudy Miyaji at 235-7437.

Use our Reserves service to make instructional materials available to your students. Personal or library copies of books, videos, sound recordings, or other items can be put on reserve.

You may allow students to borrow reserve materials for 2 days, 7 days, or for use within the Library. Contact the Circulation Desk at 235-7441.

The librarians are happy to help faculty with any aspect of their course design. Are you interested in integrating the library in your course? Do you have your students do research papers? We can probably help you in designing the assignment.

Do you assign a research project? LILO integrates a research tutorial, assignment calculator, and citation builder with your research assignment to help your students succeed!

For more information about LILO, or to schedule a session for your class, please contact Tara Severns (235-7440, severns@hawaii.edu).
