Faculty - Add the Library to Your Class!

Faculty, as you are putting the final touches on your syllabi and class preparations, don't forget to add  the Library to your class! We have lot's of tools, widgets and gadgets to help make using the Library's resources easy for you and your students.

Schedule your class for a Library Instruction Session or recommend that your students sign up for one of the Monday or Tuesday 11:30 am to 12:00 pm or 12:00 to 12:30 pm Library tours.

Provide your students with direct links to articles, ebooks, and streaming audio and video clips right in your Moodle or OASIS class.

Make resources available to your class by placing them on electronic or print reserve.

Add a library widget to your Moodle course page that will link your students directly to subject/course specific research help.

Find out about these and other services that are available for faculty and students by clicking on the Services Tab on the Library's Home Page.

How Do I Print?

To print (and photocopy!) in the Library you need a Columbia Campus ID card, with Columbia Cash on it.

With your ID and Columbia Cash, you can print in the Library and campus computer labs. Printing costs $.10 / page for black and white, $.50 / page for color. Black and white printers/copiers are on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors. The color printer is on the 1st floor, the color copier on the 4th floor.

To print with coins or bills, purchase a GoPrint/OmniPrint card from the machine on the 1st floor.
