LIBRARY RESOURCES FOR FACULTY
The following links have been selected to provide faculty with information about the many and varied resources available from the Smith Library. A library liaison is available to all faculty for collaboration and assistance in using these resources and planning effective library research projects. Select the link below for a list of library liaisons arranged by department. Faculty are welcome and encouraged to contact their liaisons with any questions or suggestions about the library.
The ECSU library staff is dedicated to student achievement. We strive to develop information literacy instruction that not only contributes to our students' success in their studies at ECSU, but also build a foundation for lifelong learning. Please view the resources under "Library Instruction" to request an Information Literacy Session.
These are just some of the resources that will be useful to ECSU faculty. Please browse the library Web pages for additional information.

Online Classes
Please make use of this special page of library information directed to students taking classes online. It answers many questions the students will have about library resources, services, and research at Smith Library. For ease of access, this page would be helpful to place within your courseware. Due to distance, many students taking classes online often do not visit the library and rely on knowing how to access their library needs online. You might also want to add a link to the research guides in your discipline to your courseware.
