LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES
Library Instruction
Please contact Andrew Yeager (ayeager@medaille.edu or 880-2336) to schedule library instruction sessions. We will tailor these sessions to address a variety of information literacy objectives, including effective use of periodical databases, evaluation of information found on the web, and access to information located in other libraries.
- Information Literacy in a Nutshell: Basic Information for Academic Administrators and Faculty
- ACRL Information Literacy Website A gateway to resources on information literacy focused on improving the teaching, learning, and research role of the higher education community. From the Association of College and Research Libraries.
Ordering New Library Materials
See our new collection development policy.
- All items for Course Reserve must be brought to the Front Desk in the Library, and must be accompanied by a Reserve Request Form (available in the Library.) A complete bibliographic citation must be provided.
- Items that may be placed on Reserve, subject to U.S. Copyright restrictions, include: books (library copy or your personal copy), videos, slides, photocopies of periodical articles or book chapters, and other materials.
- Advise the Library if the Reserve Loan Period should be:
1. IN LIBRARY USE ONLY
2. 2-DAY LOAN - items can be checked out at anytime and are due back 48 hours later.
3. OVERNIGHT - items are due back the following morning when the library opens. - Generally allow 24 hours for processing of hard copies of Reserve materials, however during busy periods, such as the first few weeks of a new semester, processing may take longer.
Interlibrary Loan and Infopass Services
Need a book or article that the Library does not own?
- Request it through Interlibrary Loan - at the Library's front desk or by our Online Interlibrary Loan Request Form
- Apply for a Western New York INFOPASS. Available for faculty and graduate students, passholders may borrow materials directly from other WNY participating libraries.
WNYLibraries.org is a virtual union catalog that allows you to search the holdings of many local libraries simultaneously.
