The librarian instruction and orientation services program is geared towards the curricular needs of the university faculty and is available for their classes. Faculty should be prepared to discuss with the assigned library faculty member any class assignments related to library use since they increase the learning experience related to library instruction. Faculty who plan to have their classes do independent work in the library should schedule such visits with the Public Services staff assistant. Faculty or graduate teaching assistants should remain with their classes while in the library. Mediated Searching All ETSU faculty are eligible for the mediated searching service.
Faculty members pay all charges that are billed to the library by commercial database vendors.
Payment is due when the search is completed and the results are received. Interdepartmental transfer of funds is available only to those authorized to use department accounts. Faculty who have received permission to charge their department account can do so at the time of the search request or before the results are received. Faculty searches may also be sent to email addresses. Access to a variety of bibliographic databases is available utilizing authentication with a current, valid ETSU ID card.
