| Reserve Request Form | Printable, downloadable form. Copyright law requires a form be submitted for each request. |
| The ever-expanding charms of the Millennium Copyright Act do REQUIRE that each copy of a Reserve Form must have a "blue-ink" signature--i.e. original signature only, no faxes, no email. | |
| The Millennium Online Library - Interlibrary Loan Form | now provides the mechanism for all Interlibrary Loan requests. If you have questions you may call the Reference Desk at 432-552-2396 |
| Freshman Seminar Library Handout | Intended to be used as an online handout for the Freshman Seminar, this page also gives a good general introduction to important aspects of the library web site. The page provides hotlinks to pages on such subjects as the LC call number scheme and how to use it, the library database page, etc. and explains why they are useful. |
| Emergency Quick Start Page | While intended for students who have left their research until the last minute, this page also gives a quick outline of the general aggregated databases available to you and your students. These databases are the most multidisciplinary databases, and the ones undergraduates tend to use the most frequently. At the same time these databases do not restrict themselves solely to scholarly journals, instead they provide full-image access to both journals and magazines. All of these databases now provided ways to restrict research to scholarly or peer-reviewed journals only. This is a tactic you should encourage your students to use as you help guide them through the research process. |
| Evaluating the World Wide Web | This is a page built more for teachers than students. Given the heavy use of the WWW by students
they need to develop expertise on evaluating the information and the web sites they use.
This short page gives guidelines and links to other sites.
FYI: Currently few high schools assign book reports. Yet the library sees assignments such as: "review 10 web sites and write a report like you would a book report" fairly frequently. Since most students have seldom or never written a book report, they will not know understand how to write a "web" report either. This page will help in that kind of assignment. |
| Designing More Effective Library Assignments | The most common mistake new teachers make is to take an old graduate school assignment and try to re-work it for undergraduates. In the normal course of events this is not a very good idea. It is very difficult to take a graduate school assignment and rework so it is truly a fair evaluation tool for undergradutes. Finally, the library may not own whatever sources were listed in your old graduate school assignments. |

| Electronic Journals | This resource defaults to a list of databases, rather than to the A-Z List of Titles. You must select: A, B, C, etc to access the title list. |
| This is a list constructed for us by a library vendor; it is reasonably comprehensive. As always, some vendors prefer to keep their holdings in quasi-proprietary formats. | |
