COURSE RESERVES

Barnard and Columbia University Libraries provide Course Reserves to support instructional requirements for specific courses. Items placed on Course Reserves can be in many formats, including books, journal articles, video-recordings, compact discs, DVDs or other relevant materials.

In order to assure availability, Course Reserves collections have short loan periods which vary by individual library location. 

Course Reserves items can be accessed through the Course Reserves search on CLIO, or through CourseWorks.

LIBRARY RESEARCH INSTRUCTION
Barnard faculty are encouraged to schedule library research instruction session for their classes. These multimedia presentations are normally taught in the library and provide an overview of reference materials, database selection, CLIO searching, and other resources in the Barnard and Columbia libraries relevant to your class's research. The Reference Librarian/Instructor can create an online research guide for classes taught and will tailor the content to meet your students' needs. Contact Karen Dobrusky for more information or to schedule a session. Have a look at our wiki to contribute or get ideas on how to teach critical thinking about library and web resources. 

We are engaged in a project to assess the information literacy and critical thinking skills of first year students and the library instruction we give them.
SUGGEST A NEW BOOK  
Identify a book or other resource that is not currently in the collection that supports the current curriculum or courses new to Barnard's areas of study.
