Faculty Guide to Library Resources: Students and Library Resources

Information for NSCC full-time and part-time faculty

How will students access library resources?

When an NSCC student needs to find resources to complete a paper or other assignment, there are a variety of ways to get the word out.

FACULTY (AND STAFF) CAN:

  • Add the "syllabi statement" to your syllabus
  • Mention the NSCC library in class (our location, willingness to assist students, resources available, etc.)
  • Mention the "Library Resources" link in Sakai, located along the left-hand side of the home page
  • Request paper flyers if you think it would help to hand them out in class
  • Ensure that new students are aware of the library and what it can offer to contribute to student success

LIBRARY STAFF CAN:

  • Add announcements to myNSCC and Stall Talk
  • Send targeted/personalized emails to groups of students
  • Add content to the Sakai "Research & Writing Support" site and to various online guides
  • Add online guides to courses in our LMS (Sakai)
  • Publish paper flyers as needed
  • Offer "Guided Research" appointments at certain times during fall and spring semesters

We appreciate everyone's help in directing students to us when they need resources!

PLEASE NOTE: Effective fall semester 2021, the library no longer charges LATE FINES to students for books returned after the due date.  We have implemented "autorenewals" as a convenvience, and books will automatically be renewed until the end of the semester unless the student account has a hold or the item iteself has a hold (is wanted by another person).  The library does charge replacement and/or processing fees in some cases.
