Reserve materials are available at the circulation desk to be checked out with a library card for two hours of in library use or per instructor's instructions. Reserves can be looked up in the online catalog by course name, number, or professor's name (use the drop down menu to the left of the search box).
Information Literacy Instruction
All students begin the development of their Information Literacy skills in the following first year courses: CC101 and EN102. Following, each degree program continues with select research-based courses, as designated in an Information Literacy Action Plan. Faculty members are also invited to arrange instructional sessions for specific courses or assignments with the reference librarians, Dragan Gill or Tracy Vingo.
For more information, we have created an introduction to Information Literacy and Mount Ida’s Information Literacy and Technologies Competencies.
