Library Services for New Faculty

EKU Library offers many ways to partner with a librarian.

• Our Liaison Program exists to provide you with a direct avenue of engagement with one of our librarians. Your Library Liaison will reach out to you periodically throughout the year with announcements and updates related to library services and is available to answer any questions you may have.
• Our Library Instruction Program includes services to support your research assignments, through both synchronous and asynchronous library instruction sessions, and in person or online sessions, depending on your needs. 

• Request an instruction session by Special Collections and Archives relating to local primary sources and oral history using the Archives Instruction Request page.

TIP! Use the Library Instruction Request Form to schedule synchronous or asynchronous, in person or online instruction.

Have questions or special concerns about scheduling instruction?  Please contact Maggie Park, Library Specialist in Teaching & Learning.

Introduce your students to the Libraries' spaces, services, and wide variety of resources--no assignment needed! 

Choose to complete either:

• Online: Access the online versions of EKU Libraries' Libstart at the Libstart landing page.
• Face to face: Schedule a time for your class to come in to the library.

Have questions or special concerns?  Please contact Maggie Park, Library Specialist in Teaching & Learning.

Librarians have curated Information Literacy Toolkits that provide an outline, resources, and/or suggestions to infuse information literacy concepts and skills into your course.

Have an idea for a new assignment?  Have any questions or want to give us some feedback?  Please let us know!  Contact Heather Beirne, Librarian and Director of Teaching & Learning.

Suggestions for developing or revising a research assignment can be found on the library's Craft an Effective Research Assignment page. 

Have questions or want to collaborate with a librarian?  We encourage you to schedule an assignment design consultation with your liaison librarian today!
