Faculty Services

Young Library works closely with KCU faculty to provide service and develop its resources. We have assigned each school of study a liaison librarian. Our liaisons are prepared to work closely with all faculty to meet the educational and research goals of the institution. This includes collaboration on collection development, programming, displays, and developing bibliographic instruction. All faculty are encouraged to ask for library input and assistance!

Bibliographic Instruction

Assignment specific research instruction is available upon request. Instructors can request a full class instruction, quick 10-minute subject reviews, and one-on-one sessions for individual students. We are happy to accommodate your course research needs. All instructors receive an outline prior to a library instruction session which can be modified by the instructor. Please contact your liaison above for scheduling.

Faculty checkouts

Checkouts of cataloged resources are available to faculty for the entire semester. Faculty can request a renewal of their materials at the end of the semester. No fines are accrued by faculty members. Special accommodations are made for all materials that are needed by faculty to meet their research and classroom needs.

SDI

This program allows all faculty to receive a copy of the Table of Contents of current print publications held by the library. To receive the Table of Contents, fill out the form SDI Form.
