Getting Started with the MacOdrum Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Visit the circulation desk with your Campus Card to register and set a PIN number so that you can borrow books and access online resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Library offers a number of services to support faculty and contract instructors\u2019 teaching and research needs. Find all the details on the Library’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reserves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use library reserves to make course readings easily available to your students in electronic or print format. Working from your list of readings, the reserves team will put your books on short-term loan or make the readings available in Brightspace.  <\/span>Whether in print or electronic format, they will ensure that everything complies with copyright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the material is not in the Library collection, they will make every effort to procure it. <\/span>The reserves team will prioritize resources that can be used without cost (in the public domain, open access, covered by Carleton\u2019s Fair Dealing Policy or the Library\u2019s licenses) but will pay for permissions when required. <\/span>Find out more about reserves here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Librarians\/Subject Specialists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The librarians and subject specialists at the Library provide support for research and learning for all disciplines at Carleton. Support can take the form of in-class instruction based on faculty or instructor request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workshops are designed to help students understand the research process, how to search databases and how to evaluate information resources in line with course learning objectives and assignments. Workshops on qualitative and quantitative research data management and citation management options are also offered throughout the fall and winter terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally staff offer orientation tours and consultations for new faculty and instructors and can explain the range of Library services available. Find your librarians and subject specialists here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking Videos and Films<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Library\u2019s large collection of videos and films can be borrowed and is also available for classroom bookings and short-term reserve loans. If we don\u2019t have what you need, you can borrow films and videos from other Ontario universities through the Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that since 2012, you can show a film in class without needing public performance rights as long as you are using a legal copy. Contact libcirc@library.carleton.ca<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019ll be put in touch with the right person to organize your video depending on whether it is part of the Carleton collection or elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting a Textbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Campus Store has a section on its website devoted to faculty services. It includes links to University Custom Publishing, a resource for custom publishing, case studies and copyright clearance. You\u2019ll also find links to LAD Custom Publishing, your connection for Harvard Business School Publishing and other copyrighted content, and XanEdu, which offers a range of solutions for designing more affordable course materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
