The libraries welcome faculty suggestions for book and film orders. Let us know of either specific titles that will be useful to your students or of subject areas that you plan to focus on in future assignments so that we can be sure our collection will meet your students' needs. Because the ordering and cataloging process usually takes six to eight weeks, please let us know as far in advance as possible. Suggestions for periodicals can be made to Diane Cockrell , Germantown, Janet Meyer s, Takoma Park, or Harriet Reiter at Rockville. The libraries can obtain needed materials from other libraries for faculty, staff, and students through the interlibrary loan service.
ILL forms are available at the circulation or reference desk at each campus library.
Interlibrary loan requests are submitted and maintained at the Rockville Campus Library. For Students Reference librarians are available to help instructors develop assignments that make use of library resources. We can verify that the library has the materials necessary to complete an assignment, or we can give you suggestions for assignments that will best match the library's resources in the subject area you are teaching. A library instruction session helps students get a good start on any assignment requiring library or internet research. The classes take place during a class period in the IT Training Center located at each campus library.
