Faculty Copyright Guide

An online guide that provides information and tutorials to assist faculty with making materials accessible to students.

SJU Faculty have several options for sharing readings with their students.  You can

1. 1. Request that tangible items such as books and DVDs be put on reserve at the library service desk.
   2. Create your own reading lists in Canvas using Discover Reading Lists.
   3. Submit a complete and accurate list of citations for readings or streaming video using Digital Reserves Request template.  Send the completed document to the reserves email.   If the library does not own an item, you can provide personal copies or scans of the documents you requested.  When your request has been completed, you will receive instructions for importing your reserves list into Canvas.  Please allow 2-3 weeks for processing.

Five Ways Faculty Can Connect Students to Library Collections and Support

Scholarly Publishing Guide

A central source for information on journal evaluation and acceptance rates, citation analysis, book reviews, and resources related to predatory journals.

Request a library research instruction session for your course.

Information Literacy is defined by the Association of College and Research Libraries as "the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning."

Library instruction sessions cover academic research, the scholarly communication practices of the academic community, and how to effectively use research tools and sources. Sessions encourage students to actively engage with the larger issues surrounding the evaluation and use of information.

The Library welcomes recommendations for materials to add to the collection.  Please use this Request Form to submit a general purchase request.  For video requests please use the Video Request Form.

For information on the acquisition, selection process, please refer to the Library's collection development policy.
