If you are an NCSSM student, your library staff provides the opportunity for you to: learn how to access the collection of over 245,000 e-books; learn best practices for database and journal mining; get help on projects and papers, even on nights and weekends; and, of course, say hi to Porg during Online Weekends. Remember the new Chat feature to ask questions or get help. We enjoy helping -- the more obscure the topic the better.
If you are a faculty member, your library provides: space for you to be outside the confines of your office; books and e-books for your courses or for reading pleasure; consults on Open Educational Resources for your courses that can help you escape from the textbook monster; collaboration on assignments that you may be pondering and how we can support you and your students with resources and expertise in searching for and finding information; help if you are working on an advanced degree; and coffee. The library staff has experience in designing, teaching and taking online courses, and we get paid to help you. We encourage you to use the Chat feature too!
