Here are a few reminders for faculty for the start of the spring semester: 

Library Instruction

Help your students develop critical research skills by scheduling a customized library instruction session. Our librarians can tailor the content to fit your course objectives. Submit your request in the link above or contact Dave Dettman at x4206 or ddettman@uwsp.edu.for more information.

Reference and Research Help

Encourage your students to reach out for help via email, phone, online chat, or in person at the Reference Desk (CCC 104). Consider including a reference to library services in your syllabus or even assigning a visit to the Reference Desk for extra credit. You can also have students schedule a research consultation with a librarian here 

Course Reserves 

Ensure your students have access to required course materials with our Course Reserves service:

  • Physical Reserves: Place physical materials like books or DVDs in our Reserve Collection (CCC 130), where shorter loan periods keep them accessible for all students.
  • Electronic Reserves: Offer digital access to materials, including ebooks, articles, and streaming videos, directly integrated into Canvas for easy student access.

To submit your Course Reserves requests,please emai library.reserves@uwsp.edu or reach out directly to Katie DeRuyter at x2859 or kderuyte@uwsp.edu.
